| dose equivalent |
The product of dose and a radiation weighting factor. For x rays and gamma rays the radiation weighting factor is 1. Dose equivalent can be expressed in rem. 1 rem ~ 1 rad for soft tissue. In 1990, the ICRP proposed using the term 'equivalent dose' instead of dose equivalent.

| dose equivalent |
(H T ) means the product of the absorbed dose in tissue, quality factor, and all other necessary modifying factors at the location of interest. The units of dose equivalent are the rem and sievert (Sv).

| dose equivalent |
The absorbed dose multiplied by a radiation weighting factor which accounts for the relative biological damage of the specific type of radiation, measured in units of rem or millirem (mrem); 1 rem = 1000 mrem.

| dose equivalent |
An attempt to approach the biological effects of radiation to offset the problem which the conventional radiation risk agencies have made by concentrating on the physical qualities. Absorbed Dose (qv) is the amount of energy transferred into body tissue; Dose Equivalent is a factor by which Absorbed Dose is multiplied to allow for differences in biological effectiveness of different types of radiation. This gives rise to Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE). ...

| dose equivalent |
In radiology, the product of the absorbed dose and the quality factor. Expressed in rems or sieverts, it measures the effects of absorbing different types of radiation. SEE: factor, quality.
