Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for measuring a distribution of radiation dose from a brachytherapy radiation source, the apparatus being configured to measure the distribution of radiation dose emitted from a brachytherapy insertion tool, the apparatus comprising:
a housing having defined therein a measurement space in which the brachytherapy insertion tool is located;
a fluorescent member disposed at the housing, the fluorescent member being configured to react with radiation emitted to the measurement space and to emit light;
a camera disposed in the housing; and
a cover coupled to one surface of the housing, the cover being configured to cover the fluorescent member, wherein
radiation emitted from a brachytherapy radiation source transferred to the brachytherapy insertion tool is applied to the fluorescent member in the measurement space to emit light, and
an image of the light is captured by the camera,
wherein the fluorescent member is flat, is disposed perpendicular to the brachytherapy insertion tool guided to the measurement space, and is provided with a fluorescent through-hole, through which the brachytherapy insertion tool is inserted so as to be installed.
