Abstract

A dose distribution-measuring method capable of grasping a three-dimensional form of an object to be measured or evaluating a three-dimensional dose distribution thereof. The method comprises providing a multiple-eye type radiation meter probe in which at least two directional radiation detectors are arranged so as to be spaced from each other and directed toward a point to be measured; and carrying out dose measurement by directing the radiation meter probe toward an object to be measured from different positions to thereby determine a three-dimensional dose distribution of the object to be measured. Each of the radiation detectors has a structure in which a periphery of the radiation detector main body, except for a detection surface thereof, is surrounded by a radiation shield to reduce the effect of radiation from other than the object to be measured and from Compton scattering.
