radiation dosage

Preferred Label : radiation dosage;

MeSH definition : The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).;

MeSH synonym : dosages, radiation; radiation dosages; dosage, radiation;
