Equivalent Dose Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onThis calculator calculates the equivalent dose using absorbed dose, radiation weighting factor values.
Equivalent dose is a dose quantity H representing the stochastic health effects of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body which represents the probability of radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage.
The radiation weighting factor represents the relative biological effectiveness of the radiation and modifies the absorbed dose to take account of the different biological effects of various types and energies of radiation.
Equivalent Dose Calculation
Formula:
Where,
DT,R is the absorbed dose in grays (Gy) in tissue T by radiation type R
WR is the radiation weighting factor defined by regulation
HT is the equivalent dose in sieverts (Sv) absorbed by tissue T
