Several effects have been shown in the brain, including atrophy of the cortex, after a single dose of 10 Gy or an accumulated dose of 18 Gy delivered in about 10 fractions.

Absorbed dose, equivalent dose and effective dose all apply to individuals or to average individuals.

The dose referred to is almost always the effective dose.

1.1.2.2.5 In the French version, replace dose effective with dose efficace .

Tissue failures are therefore dependent on both dose and dose rate.

What's the dose?

At low doses with any dose rate and at high doses with low dose rate, only the term proportional to dose is effective.

16. The effects of low LET radiation delivered at low doses or low dose rates have been examined in studies of occupational, natural background and environmental exposures.

Per dose per patient.

Give me a dose

In the UNSCEAR 1988 report, the Committee derived risk coefficients (risk per unit dose) for high dose and high dose rate situations for various tissues.

Annual collective effective dose a

It wasn't a big dose?

Collective effective dose (million man Sv)

So milliliters of solution per dose.

A dose is every twelve hours.

Better give him a good dose.

I'll give you the right dose.

The Committee has used a quantity analogous to effective dose, but ignoring the dose to the target tissue.

Again, not an insane dose, not an illegal dose, but very much at the high end of normal.

Because the proportion of cells killed depends on dose, the severity of the deterministic effect also depends on dose.

All these features are included in the selection of the weighting factors for converting equivalent dose into effective dose.

The total collective effective dose committed by weapons testing to date is about 3 107 man Sv. Of this, about 7 106 man Sv will have been delivered by the year 2200.

Nigerians can use a dose of hope.

Annual average effective dose per monitored worker

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

We're still getting a dose of UVA.

The average dose from external exposure was estimated to be 0.12 Sv, giving a collective dose of about 30,000 man Sv.

Stochastic health effects occur by chance, generally occurring without a threshold level of dose, whose probability is proportional to the dose and whose severity is independent of the dose, such as cancer and genetic effects.

However, to ensure a clear distinction between the absorbed dose and its weighted analogues, it has been agreed that the unit of equivalent dose and of effective dose should have the special name sievert (Sv).

Collective effective dose committed per unit energy generated

Or you can just say milliliters per dose.

He received high dose radiation to the head.

We got a single dose from the vet.

Let's have a small dose of straight talk.

What he needs is a dose of salts.

A sublethal dose probably wouldn't show up anyway.

The fraction of the dose commitment delivered by 2200 (38 per cent) is not the same as the fraction of the corresponding collective dose (23 per cent) because the world population is expected to rise from 3.2 billion at the time of the main weapon testing programmes to a constant 10 billion for most of the 10,000 years.

The radiation dose from a nuclear medicine investigation is expressed as an effective dose with units of sieverts (usually given in millisieverts, mSv).

As the dose increases, more individuals will incur the observable effect, up to a dose above which the whole group shows the effect.

The unit of effective dose commitment is the sievert.

Patient doses are expressed in terms of effective dose.

We want milliliters of solution per dose per patient.

For most purposes, the Committee uses the average absorbed dose in a tissue or whole organism rather than the absorbed dose at a point.
