Dose Equivalent 15
Dose Equivalent 15 :
Radiation and Radiological Disasters. A quantity used in radiation protection to place all radiation on a common scale for calculating tissue damage. Dose equivalent is theabsorbed dose in grays times the quality factor. The quality factor accounts for differences in radiation effects caused by different types of ionizing radiation. Some radiation, including alpha particles, causes a greater amount of damage per unit of absorbed dose than other radiation. The sievert (Sv) is the unit used to measure dose equivalent.
