Abstract		The dose heterogeneity in the tumor is often described as being normally distributed. Besides the normal distribution we propose the Fermi function describing Fermi statistics as a possible dose heterogeneity descriptor. In order to demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed functions as dose distribution descriptors 30 clinical gross tumor volume (GTV) dose-volume histograms (DVHs) are gathered and fit with the examined functions.
