Equivalent Dose of Ionizing Radiation

The equivalent dose is a dose quantity representing the stochastic health effects of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body. Ionizing radiation is radiation that carries enough energy to free electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

The equivalent dose equals the absorbed dose times a radiation weighting factor.

Formula

QuantityVariable["H", "EquivalentDoseOfIonizingRadiation"] == QuantityVariable["D", "AbsorbedDoseOfIonizingRadiation"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["w", "R"], "Unitless"]

symbol description physical quantity
H equivalent dose "EquivalentDoseOfIonizingRadiation"
D absorbed dose "AbsorbedDoseOfIonizingRadiation"
wR radiation weighting factor "Unitless"
