Effective following dose

The effective folgedose is a size in radiation protection. It is the effective dose accumulated as a result of the absorption of a radionuclide into the body (incorporation) over a period τ. The biological and the physical half-time of the recorded nuclide are taken into account. The effective folgedose is denoted by E (τ), the unit is the Sievert (Sv). For adults, a period of 50 years is used. The corresponding effective foliate dose is referred to as E (50) or E50. For children up to the age of 70 years from incorporation is expected.

The effective foliate dose is calculated from the respective organ folios dose for all tissues and organs and the associated tissue weighting factors, which are also used to determine the effective dose. The quantities are multiplied and summed over all tissues and organs T: E ( & # x03C4; ) = & # x2211; T w T & # x22C5; H T ( & # x03C4; ) {\displaystyle E(\tau )=\sum _{\mathrm {T} }w_{\mathrm {T} }\cdot H_{\mathrm {T} }(\tau )} .

The organ-folgedose is the organdosis accumulated in the respective organ or tissue during the period τ Single-level Edit source text Edit source text
