Relative biological effectiveness of radiation

The dose of radiation absorbed by a unit of mass per unit of time is called the absorbed dose rate in units of joules/kg. The rad (radiation absorbed dose) is 10 J/kg. A rad of a rays is more harmful than a rad of rays. Hence, the RBE (relative biological effectiveness) of radiation can normalize the damage to tissue by different types of radiation. This is illustrated by the equation... [Pg.113]
