Nov 27, 2014 · RADIATION UNITS Exposure: Roentgen 1 Roentgen (R) = amount of X or gamma radiation that produces ionization resulting in 1 electrostatic unit of charge in 1 cm3 of dry air. Absorbed Dose: rad (Roentgen absorbed dose) = absorption of 100 ergs of energy from any radiation in 1 gram of any material; 1 Gray (Gy) = 100 rads = 1 Joule/kg; Exposure to ...
