Röntgen equivalent man, Equivalent dose

Named after Wilhelm Röntgen (German scientist, 1845-1923), the roentgen equivalent in man (or mammal) or rem (symbol rem) is a unit of radiation dose equivalent. It is the product of the absorbed dose in rads and a weighting factor, WR, which accounts for the effectiveness of the radiation to cause biological damage. Read more >>

Equivalent dose is therefore a less fundamental quantity than radiation absorbed dose, but is more biologically significant. Read more >>
