Claim 7:
8. A method of measuring a distribution of radiation dose from a brachytherapy radiation source, the method comprising:
disposing a fluorescent member at a housing having a camera disposed therein;
coupling the housing and a cover to each other in a state in which the fluorescent member is interposed therebetween;
inserting a front end of a brachytherapy insertion tool into a measurement space of the housing;
transferring a brachytherapy radiation source into the brachytherapy insertion tool; and
capturing an image of the measurement space to which radiation is applied and analyzing the captured image, wherein
a portion of the fluorescent member to which radiation from the brachytherapy radiation source is applied reacts with the radiation and generates light, brightness of the light varies depending on distribution of the radiation, and a position at which the light is bright is calculated to measure a direction in which the brachytherapy insertion tool has no shielding.
