A homogeneity index (HI) measures the uniformity of a dose distribution within a given target volume. Traditional HIs only use a limited number of dose–volume histogram data-points for calculation. A voxel-based homogeneity index (VHI) is proposed which utilizes the entire information of the three-dimensional dose distribution. We compared the VHI with existing HIs and analyzed if VHI results were associated with treatment outcomes in patients who underwent therapeutic WBRT.
