   Absorbed dose is a dose quantity which is the measure of the energy deposited in matter by ionizing radiation per unit mass. Absorbed dose is used in the calculation of dose uptake in living tissue in both radiation protection (reduction of harmful effects), and radiology (potential beneficial effects, for example in cancer treatment).

   What is absorbed dose?

   • Absorbed dose is defined as the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a substance. Absorbed dose is given the symbol D. The absorbed dose is usually measured in a unit called the gray (Gy), which is derived from the SI system. The non-SI unit rad is sometimes also used, predominantly in the USA. Units of absorbed dose: Gray.

   What are the units of absorbed dose and activity?

   • absorbed dose The energy imparted by ionizing radiation per unit mass of irradiated material. The units of absorbed dose are the rad and the gray (Gy). activity The rate of disintegration (transformation) or decay of radioactive material. The units of activity are the curie (Ci) and the becquerel (Bq).

   How is radiation dose measured?

   • Radiation dose can be measured a number of ways. What these different doses can tell us: Absorbed dose is used to assess the potential for biochemical changes in specific tissues. Equivalent dose is used to assess how much biological damage is expected from the absorbed dose. (Different types of radiation have different damaging properties.)

   What is the difference between absorbed dose and equivalent dose?

   • Absorbed dose tells us the energy deposit in a small volume of tissue. Equivalent dose addresses the impact that the type of radiation has on that tissue. Because all radiation used in diagnostic medicine has the same low-harm potential, the absorbed dose and the equivalent dose are numerically the same. Only the units are different.

   Definition 1. Absorbed dose is the concentration of energy deposited in tissue as a result of an exposure to ionizing radiation. Note: In this case, it means the energy absorbed by human tissue. X-rays, unlike sunlight, can penetrate deep into the body and deposit energy in internal organs.

    The rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, defined as 1 rad = 0.01 Gy = 0.01 J/kg. It was originally defined in CGS units in 1953 as the dose causing 100 ergs of energy to be absorbed by one gram of matter. The material absorbing the radiation can be human tissue, air, water, or any other substance.
