Equivalent dose
The equivalent dose (HT) is a measure of the radiation dose to tissue where an attempt has been made to allow for the different relative biological effect of different types of ionizing radiation. Equivalent dose is therefore a less fundamental quantity than radiation absorbed dose, but is more biologically significant. Equivalent dose has units of sieverts. Another unit, Röntgen equivalent man (REM), is still in common use in the US, although regulatory and advisory bodies are encouraging transition to Sievert (1 REM = 1/100 Sievert.)
