In This paper the gamma absorbed dose in a simulated phantom of<br />
adult human body is calculated. The 0.5 MeV gamma rays are<br />
produced in positron annihilation process in PET device. A certain<br />
amount of F-FDG18 drag is injected in human body to positron<br />
emission by F-18 isotope and gamma production in organs ob body.<br />
The MCNP code is used for phantom and radiation simulation. The<br />
good results are obtained and compared with other works.<br />
