product of D, Q and N at the point of interest in tissue, where D is the absorbed dose, Q is the quality factor and N is the product of all other modifying factors: H = D Q N NOTE 1 - The product of all other factors (N) used in weighting the absorbed dose is currently assigned the value of 1. NOTE 2 - The values of Q are specified by the Internati...

The absolute measurement of exposure to a dose of ionising radiation depends on the type of particle and the body tissue with which it interacts â€` hence the conversion to dose equivalent, which has units of Rem. Rads are converted to rems by multiplying by a factor that depends on the type of ionising radiation and it`s biological effect. For ...

a quantity used in radiation protection to place all radiation on a common scale for calculating tissue damage. Dose equivalent is the absorbed 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...

Dose Equivalent (some refer to this as Equivalent Dose ) is a quantity which takes into account 'radiation quality' which relates to the degree in which a type of Ionising Radiation will produce biological damage. The Dose Equivalent is obtained by multiply the Absorbed Dose by a Quality Factor . The resulting quantity can then be expressed numeri....
