ABSTRACT
Objective To study a method to measure the doses to planned target volume (PTV) and organ at risk (OAR) and 2D dose distribution in IMRT by using TLD and radiochromic film for a verification purpose.Methods Totally 7 different types of medical linear accelerators were selected from seven hospitals in Hubei province.A polystyrene phantom provided by IAEA was CT scanned and then the scanned images were returned to the Treatment Planning System (TPS) for determining the prescribed doses to PTS and OAR and the corresponding MU.After the phantom was irradiated with 6 MV X-ray,the TLDs and films were transmitted to the secondary standard dosimetry laboratory of China CDC for measurement and estimation.Results The IAEA required the relative deviations between TLD-measured and TPS-planned doses to OAR and PTV be within ±7.0%.For PTV,the measured-to-planned deviation values for 7 accelerator were within-5.4% to 6.5%,all consistent with the IAEA requirements.For OAR,the values for 5 accelerators were within-2.2% to 6.7%,not consistent the requirements,whereas the values for the other 2 were-8.6% and 8.2% respectively,beyond the required values.The IAEA required that the 2D dose distribution 3 mm/3% pass rate be higher than 90%.The measured values for 7 accelerators were in the range of 90.3%-98.9%,all consistent with the requirements.Conclusions It is feasible scientifically and easy to operate in practice for using TLD and film to carry out dose verification in IMRT.It would be advisable to apply this method to quality verification in IMRT in medical institutions to the extent possible.
