Sievert

The sievert (symbol: Sv) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is a measure of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body. Quantities that are measured in sieverts are intended to represent the stochastic health risk, which for radiation dose assessment is defined as...

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.

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 equivalent dose, you multiply absorbed dose (Gray) by ...

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 ......

Sievert

(Sv) Unit indicating the biological damage caused by radiation dose measured in Gray (q.v.). One Gray of beta or gamma radiation absorbed has 1 Sv of biological effect; 1 Gy of alpha radiation has 20 Sv effect and 1 Gy of neutrons has 10 Sv effect. (cf Dose ).
