Absorbed Dose (gray)
1 gray (Gy) = energy absorption of 1 joule/Kg

Dose Equivalent (sievert)
Equivalent dose (Sv) = Absorbed dose (Gy) x Q

Dose Equivalent (sievert)
Equivalent dose (Sv) = Absorbed dose (Gy) x Q
Q is "quality factor“, dependent upon radiation type

Effective Dose
Effective dose = Equivalent dose (Sv) x N
![Page 23: 17-ionisingradiation-110318193857-phpapp02.pptx](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020518/577c84bc1a28abe054ba1ddd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Effective Dose
Effective dose = Equivalent dose (Sv) x N
N is weighting factor dependent upon tissue type
