Radiation Weighting factors - MIT OpenCourseWare

A radiation weighting factor is an estimate of the effectiveness per unit dose of the given radiation relative a to low-LET standard. Gy (joule/kg) can be used for any type of radiation. Gy does not describe the biological effects of the different radiations. Weighting factors are dimensionless multiplicative factors used to convert physical
