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 />
