Abstract
We propose a new starting point for comparing dose distributions in therapeutic radiation physics using a Jacobian-based measure. The measure is normalization independent, free of tunable parameters, bounded and converges to a unique value when comparing unrelated dose distributions. We present a preliminary demonstration of the sensitivity and general characteristics of this measure.
