Abstract

The system of radiological protection for humans currently uses three dose quantities: absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and effective dose. Absorbed dose to organs and tissues is the fundamental scientific quantity and starting point for calculation of the other risk-adjusted quantities. Equivalent dose to organs and tissues enables the summation of doses from different radiation types, and is currently used to set limits to prevent harmful tissue reactions. Effective dose combines equivalent doses for protection from stochastic effects.

期刊介绍： The International Commission on Radiological Protection was founded in 1928 to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources as widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published six times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area.
