Estimate of Absorbed Organ Dose (cGy)
Absorbed Organ Dose (cGy) = Equivalent Organ Dose (cSv) - input by the user Reference radiation weighting factor (w_r)
The absorbed organ dose (cGy) is calculated by dividing the input equivalent organ dose (input by the user) by the specified reference radiation weighting factor value of w_r.
The reference values of w_r are as follows:
Radiation Type | Reference w_r |
---|---|
electrons E<15 keV | |
electrons E>15 keV | |
photons E<30 keV | |
photons E=30-250 keV | |
photons E>250 keV | |
neutrons E<10 keV | |
neutrons E=10-100 keV | |
neutrons E=100keV - 2MeV | |
neutrons E=2-20 MeV | |
neutrons E>20 Mev | |
