| dose equivalent |
The dose equivalent is the adsorbed dose multiplied by a biological effectiveness factor for the radiation to cause biological damage. Dose equivalents are typically expressed in rem. A dose of 100 rem to an adult normally produces some clinical signs of radiation sickness and requires hospitalization. The international scientific community has adopted the use of a different term for rem called a sievert (Sv). One Sv is the same as 100 rem.
