To study a series of tests to the IMRT planning system RayStation, and verify the feasibility of this Standard. Referring to the standard"Performance and test methods for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning system"(Standard). Methods Referring to the Standard, the tests include:dose goals used for planning, point dose calculation accuracy and dose distribution calculation accuracy. And test phantoms include:AAPM TG119 report′s test cases and solid water phantom for verification, and IMRT test cases include:multitarget, mock prostate, head/neck and CTshape (easier version and harder version) and so on. Referring to the Standard, we optimize and calculate doses of interest in RayStation, and use the common measurement equipments and tools, such as an ionization chamber, films, a detector array, and etc, to measure the doses on the accelerator, then calculate and analyze the errors between them. Results The results of dose goals for five different mock plans meet the requirements of the Standard. And the point dose ionization chamber measurements are in line with the requirements of the Standard, and the total error of the mock plans was (0.83±165)%. The γ pass rates of per field measurements using detector array are all greater than 990%, and the γ pass rates of composite film measurements are all greater than 925%. Conclusions The results of three trials to IMRT performance of RayStation are in full compliance with the requirements of the Standard. And also it is an evidence for the feasibility of this Standard.
