 | 1 Sv = 1 J/Kg
The sievert is a unit in the International System of Units (SI) intended to represent the stochastic health risk of ionizing radiation, which is defined as the probability of causing radiation-induced cancer and genetic damage. gray: quantity D absorbed dose 1 Gy = 1 joule/kilogram a physical quantity. 1 Gy is the deposit of a joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter or tissue. sievert: quantity H dose equivalent 1 Sv = 1 joule/kilogram a biological effect. The sievert represents the equivalent biological effect of the deposit of a joule of radiation energy in a kilogram of human tissue. The ratio to absorbed dose is denoted by Q. |
