IMRT polystyrene phantom provided by IAEA was scanned by CT scanner and then the scanned images were transmitted to TPS to outline prescribed dose to PTV and to OAR. The former was limited to 400 cGy while the latter limited to 200 cGy. IMRT was implemented with the phantom irradiated using 6 MV X-ray. The irradiated TLDs and films were sent to IAEA dosimerty laboratory for measurement and calculation. Jiangsu, Sichuan, Hubei and Henan provinces were selected to engage with this study for their variety of accelerators and highly skilled physicists.

As the results have shown in four provinces, the relative deviations of the TLD-measured and TPS-planned were within 0 to 10.6% for upper and lower PTV and -0.6% to 20.9% for upper and lower OAR. According to IAEA requirement, the passing rate should be greater than 90% for 3 mm /3% for 2D dose distribution. China′s result at the IMRC is 100%, being excellent.
