GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF QUANTITIES
Absorbed Dose
denoted as D, is the quotient of dE by dm, where dE is the mean energy imparted by
ionising radiation to matter of mass dm, thus
D,!C
dm
The unit of absorbed dose is joule per kilogram (J kg-‘) and its special name is gray (Gy).
Dose Equivalent
denoted as H, is the product of Q and D at a point in tissue, where D is the absorbed dose
and Q is the quality factor at that point, thus
H=QD.
The unit of dose equivalent is joule per kilogram (J kg-‘) and its special name is sievert
(Sv).
Effective Dose
a summation of the equivalent doses in tissues or organs, each multiplied by the
appropriate tissue weighting factor. It is given by the expression
where HT is the equivalent dose in tissue or organ, T, and wr is the tissue weighting factor
ix
X GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF QUANTITIES
for tissue, T (see Table 3). The effective dose can also be expressed as the sum of the
doubly weighted absorbed dose in all the tissues and organs of the body.
HE=&&
T
where HT is the annual dose equivalent in tissue, T, and WT is the tissue weighting factor
for tissue, T, as formerly recommended by the ICRP (see Table 1).
Energy Imparted
denoted as E, by the ionising radiation to matter in a volume is given by:
E = Ri” - Rout + ZQ
where Ri, is the radiant energy incident on the volume, i.e. the sum of all the energies
(excluding rest energies) of all those charged and uncharged ionising particles that enter the
volume; R,,, is the radiant energy emerging from the volume, i.e. the sum of all the energies
(excluding rest energies) of all those charged and uncharged ionising particles that leave the
volume; and CQ is the sum of all changes of the rest mass energy of nuclei and elementary
particles in any interactions that occur in the volume. (In the sum, decreases are denoted by
( + ) and increases are denoted by (-).) The expectation value of E, termed the mean energy
imparted and denoted I, is closely related to the definition of the absorbed dose, D.
Equivalent Dose
denoted as HT,R, is the absorbed dose in an organ or tissue multiplied by the relevant
radiation weighting factor (see Table 2), thus:
HT,R = WR-DT,R
where DT,R is the absorbed dose averaged over the tissue or organ, T, due to radiation R,
and wn is the radiation weighting factor for radiation, R. When the radiation field is
composed of radiations with different values of wn, the absorbed dose is subdivided into
blocks, each multiplied by its own value of wn and summed to determine the total
equivalent dose, i.e.
HT = &'R.DT,R
R
The unit of equivalent dose is joule per kilogram (J kg-‘) and its special name is sievert
(Sv).
Fluence
denoted as @, is the quotient of dN by da, where dN is the number of particles incident on
a sphere of cross-sectional area da, thus:
GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF QUANTITIES xi
Individual Dose Equivalent, penetrating, H,,(d)
the dose equivalent in soft tissue below a specified point on the body at depth, d, which is
appropriate for strongly penetrating radiation.
Kerma, K
the quotient of dE,, by dm, where dE,, is the sum of the initial kinetic energies of all the
charged ionising particles liberated by uncharged ionising particles in a volume element of
mass dm, thus:
The unit of kerma is joule per kilogram (J kg-‘) and its special name is gray (Gy).
Operational Quantity
a quantity with which, by means of its measurement, compliance with the system of
protection may be demonstrated. Examples of operational quantities are ambient dose
equivalent, directional dose equivalent and personal dose equivalent.
Organ Dose
for radiation protection purposes. It is the mean absorbed dose, DT, in a specified tissue or
organ of the human body, T, given by
DT = (l/mT) D dm or &T/m=
where m-r is the mass of tissue or organ, D is the absorbed dose in the mass element dm,
and &Tis the total energy imparted in the tissue or organ.
Protection Quantities
dosimetric quantities specified in the human body by the ICRF’. Examples of protection
quantities are effective dose and equivalent dose.
Xii GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF QUANTITIES
Quality Factor
a function, Q, of unrestricted linear energy transfer, L, in water. Values of Q(L) as a
function of L are given in ZCRP Publication 60 (ICRP, 1991a) by the following relations:
QDdm
where DT is the mean absorbed dose to the tissue or organ, mr is its mass, and Q and D
are the quality factors and the absorbed dose in the mass element dm, respectively.
where E,, is the neutron energy in MeV. There is no intention to imply any biological
meaning to this relationship. It is simply a tool for calculation.
For radiation types and energy that are not included in this table, an approximation of
wa can be obtained by calculation of Q at a depth of 10 mm in the ICRU sphere:
where D(L)dL is the absorbed dose at 10 mm between linear energy transfer, L, and
L+dL; and Q(L) is the quality factor at 10 mm [paragraph A14, ZCRP Publication 60
(ICRP, 1991a)l.l
‘The symbol D(L) has historically been used by the ICRP for the absorbed dose between linear energy transfer, L,
and L+ dL. ICRU uses DL for the same quantity. In both instances the more usual mathematical symbol would be
dD/dL.

Annals of the ICRP
Aims and Scope
Founded in 1928, the International Commission on Radiological Protection has, since 1950,
been providing general guidance on the widespread use of radiation sources causeci by
developments in the field of nuclear energy.
The reports and recommendations of the ICRP are available in the form of a review journal,
Anncls of the ICRP. Subscribers to the journal will receive each new report as soon as it
appears, thus ensuring that they are kept abreast of the latest developments in this important
field, and ca,n buiid up a complete set of ICRP reports and recommendations.
Single issues of the journal are available separately for those individuals and organizations
who do not require a complete set of all ICR.P publications, but would like to have their own
copy of a particular report covering their own field of interest. Please order through your
bookseller, subscription agent or, in case of difficulty. direct from the publisher.
