Abstract
This study was fulfilled to evaluate the absorbed dose of breast and adjacent organs using MIRD type phantom in brachytherapy of breast cancer. The absorbed dose was analyzed assuming left or right breast is source organ which is $^{103}Pd$ or $^{192}Ir$. As a result, $^{192}Ir$ dose is higher than $^{103}Pd$ in source organ and also in contralateral breast. Particularly, significant adjacent organs are lung, liver, heart and contralateral breast in brachytherapy of breast cancer.
