sorbed dose (also known as total ionizing dose, TID) is a measure of the energy deposited in a medium by ionizing radiation. It is equal to the energy deposited per unit mass of medium, and so has the unit J/kg, which is given the special name gray (Gy).
ote that the absorbed dose is not a good indicator of the likely biological effect. 1 Gy of alpha radiation would be much more biologically damaging than 1 Gy of photon radiation for example. Appropriate weighting factors can be applied reflecting the different relative biological effects to find the dose equivalent.
Dose equivalent= absorbed dose x radiation weighting factor( or quality factor).
The units of measurement for radiation include gray (Gy) for absorbed dose, sievert (Sv) for equivalent dose, and becquerel (Bq) for activity. These units help quantify the amount of radiation exposure or contamination.
Rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, while rem is a unit of dose equivalent that takes into account the biological effects of different types of radiation. Rem is considered a more accurate measure of the potential harm from radiation exposure, as it includes the type of radiation and its energy level.
Absorbed dose is the amount of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of irradiated material.
The difference between a vaccine and a booster is the time it is given. A vaccine is primarily referred to as the first dose of a medicine to prevent disease. A booster is a dose given after the initial dose to strengthen the effect of the first dose.
As nouns, dose and dosage are synonyms. Dose may also be a verb.
The difference between nylon and dacron rope is that nylon stretch but dacron dose not!
A banana equivalent dose is the radiation dose equivalent of consuming an average banana.
dose 1997 and 1999 of Toyota Camry has any difference
REM's or Sieverts
Radiation dose in terms of the amount of the biological effect caused by the amount of energy absorbed
The SI unit of dose equivalent is the sievert, symbolized as Sv.
