The energy imparted by ionizing radiation per unit mass of irradiated material. The units of absorbed dose are the rad and the gray (Gy). The rate of disintegration (transformation) or decay of ...

These are two measured dosimetric quantities that can be used to estimate the radiation risks. Gy∙cm2 is used for estimating stochastic risk to patients while mGy relates to tissue reaction. Gy∙cm2 is ...
