Absorbed dose is a fundamental dose quantity D representing the mean energy imparted to matter per unit mass by ionizing radiation. The SI unit is joules per kilogram and its special name is gray (Gy). The non-SI CGS unit rad is sometimes also used, predominantly in the USA. ==Uses== ===Radiological protection=== The quantity absorbed dose is of f...

The quantity of radiation received per unit mass within a given period of time. The SI unit of absorbed dose is the gray (Gy). One gray is the absorbed dose when the energy per unit mass imparted to matter is 1 joule per kilogram. A former unit, the rad, = 0.01 gray. The absorbed dose rate is the ...
