Two fields size ( 5 cm x5 cm and 35 cm *35 cm), were been studied, to define the cauterizations of 60 Co machine and to investigate the effect of increasing the surface to skin distance (SSD) on the 60 Co machine properties, e.g.; beam profile and percentage depth dose (PDD) •For the narrow field size there is a small change observed in the curves representing beam profile and the percentage depth dose when increasing the distance by 5cm , for the wide field size there relatively clear different in curves. The study results been compared with other previous studies and clear consistence observed. ﻓ ﻰ ﻫﺬا اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﺗﻢ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام BEAMnrc إﺳﺘﻨﺎدآ ﻋﻠﻰ EGSnrc ﻛﺈﺣﺪى أﻧﻈﻤﺔ ﻣﻮﻧﺘ ﻰ ﻛﺎرﻟﻮ ﻟﻠﻤ ﺤﺎﻛﺎة ، وﺗ ﻄﺒﻴﻘﻪ ﻋﻠ ﻰ ﺟﻬﺎز اﻟﻜﻮﺑﺎﻟ ﺖ “ 60 ﺑﺎﻟﻤﺮﻛﺰ اﻟﻘﻮﻣﻰ ﻟﻠﻌ ﻻ ج ﺑﺎ ﻷﺷﻌﺔ واﻟﻄﺐ اﻟﻨﻮو ي ” اﻟﺨﺮﻃﻮم (RICK.) . ﺗﻢ دراﺳﺔ ﺣﻘﻠﻴﻦ أﺣﺪﻫﻤﺎ ذو ﻧﻄﺎق ﺿﻴﻖ واﻷﺧﺮ وا ﺳﻊ ﻧﺴﻴﻴﺂ ر 5 ﺳﻢ 5 ﺳﻢ و 35 ﺳﻢ 35x ﺳﻢ إ ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺘﻮاﻟﻰ وذﻟ ﻚ ﻣﻦ أﺟﻞ درا ﺳﺔ ﺧ ﺼﺎﻧﻤ ﻦ ﺟﻬﺎز اﻟﻜﻮﺑﺎﻟ ﺖ 60- ﺑﺎﻹ ﺿﺎﻓﺔ اﻟﻰ ﻣﻌﺮﻓﺔ أﺗﺮ زﻳﺎدة اﻟﻤﺴﺎﻓﺔ ﺑﻴ ﻦ ﻓﺘﺤﻪ ﺟﻬﺎز اﻟﻜﻮﺑﺎﻟ ﺖ و ﺳ ﻄ ﺢ اﻟﺠﺴﻢ وﻣﺪ ى ﺗﺎﺑ ﺮ ﻫﺎ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺧﺼﺎﺋﻤﺮع ﺟﻬﺎز اﻟﻜﻮﺑﺎﻟ ﺖ ﻣﺶ ﺷﻜﻞ اﻟﺨﺮج وﻣﻌﺪل اﻟﺠﺮﻋﺔ ﻓ ﻰ اﻟﻌﻤﻖ . ﺑﺎﻟﺘ ﺴﺒﺔ ﻟﻠﺤﻘﻞ ذو اﻟﻄﺎق اﻟ ﻀﻴ ﻖ ﻛﺎن ﻫﻨﺎﻟﻚ ﺗﻐﻴﻴﺮ ﺑ ﺴﻴ ﻂ ﻓ ﻰ ﺧ ﺼﺎﺋ ﺺ اﻟﻤﺌﺤﻨﻴﺎ ت اﻟﻤﻮﺿﺤﺔ ﻟﺸﻜﻞ اﻟﺨﺮج واﻟ ﺠﺮ ﻋﺔ ﻓ ﻰ اﻟﻌﻤﻖ ﻋﻘﺪ زﻳﺎدة اﻟﻤﺴﺎﻓﺔ ﺑﻮاﻗﻊ 5 ﺳﻢ ، ﺑﻴﺌﻤﺎ ﻛﺎن ﻫﻨﺎﻟﻚ ﺗﻐﻴﻴﺮ وا ﺿ ﺢ ﻓ ﻰ ﺧ ﺼﺎﺋ ﺺ اﻟﺴﺎﺑﻘﺔ و اﻟﻨﺎﺗﺠﺔ ﻣﻦ زﻳﺎدة اﻟﻤﺴﺎﻓﺔ ﺑﻮاﻗﻊ 5 ﺳﻢ ﻓ ﻰ ﻛﻞ ﻣﺮة ﻋﻨﺪ إﺟﺮاﺀ اﻟﻤﺤﺎﻛﺎة ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺤﻘﻞ ذو اﻟﻨﻄﺎق اﻟﻮاﺳﻊ ﻧﺴﺒﻴﺎ ﺗﻤ ﺖ ﻣﻘﺎرﻧﺔ ﻧﺘﺎﺋ ﺞ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﻣﻊ ﻧﺘﺎﺋ ﺞ درا ﺳﺔ ﺳﺎﺑﻘﺔ ، وﻗﺪ ﻛﺎن ﻫﻨﺎﻟ ﻚ ﺗ ﻄﺎﺑ ﻖ ﻓ ﻰ اﻟﺘﺘﺄﺋﺞ ﺑ ﺼﻮرة ﻛﺒﻴ ﺮة.

In Sudan ,cancer is one of the terrible diseases that spread widely among the people in the recent decades (RICK annual reports for 2007 , 2008 and 2010 ); , however doctors and oncologists fight strongly to defeat it ; they use different methods for ^eatment such as surgery or surgery followed by radiation treatment ,which are an important method for treatment ; this process are being done through medical device that could emits radiation such as linear accelerator and 60Co therapy machine. The process could radiotherapy, which are a technique
