2. Sievert
   This relates the absorbed dose in human tissue to the effective biological damage of the radiation. Not all radiation has the same biological effect, even for the same amount of absorbed dose. Equivalent dose is often expressed in terms of millionths of a sievert, or micro-sievert. To determine equi...

3. sievert
   Sievert (Sv) is the SI derived unit of dose equivalent when the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation multiplied by the stipulated dimensionless factors is 1 J/kg. It is named after the Swedish physicst Rolf Sievert (1896-1966).

10. sievert
    (Sv) Type: Term Pronunciation: sē′vĕrt Definitions: 1. The SI unit of ionizing radiation effective dose, equal to the absorbed dose in gray, weighted for both the quality of radiation in question and the tissue response to that radiation. The unit is the joule per kilogram and 1 Sv = 100 rem.

11. sievert
    SI unit of radiation dose equivalent. It replaces the rem (1 Sv equals 100 rem). Some types of radiation do more damage than others for the same absorbed dose – for example, an absorbed dose of alpha radiation causes 20 times as much biological damage as the same dose of beta radiation. The equivalent dose in sieverts is equal to the absorbed ...

12. Sievert
    The `sievert` (symbol: Sv) is the International System of Units (SI) SI derived unit of dose equivalent radiation. It attempts to quantitatively evaluate the biological effects of ionizing radiation as opposed to the physical aspects, which are characterised by the absorbed dose, measured in gray. I...
