Note that the earlier measure of 'dose equivalent' is not organ averaged.

Damage to living tissue can be quantified by using the dose equivalent.

The sievert (Sv) is the unit used to measure dose equivalent.

A measure of the biologic risk of the energy deposited is the dose equivalent.

Also, dose equivalent; a general term for the quantity of energy absorbed when exposed to radioactive materials or reactions.

Dose equivalent is the absorbed dose in grays times the quality factor.

The units of dose equivalent are sieverts or rem.

Sievert (Sv): a unit used to derive a quantity called dose equivalent.

It is reported alongside eye and shallow dose equivalents on typical US dosimetry reports.

Dose equivalent: a quantity used in radiation protection to place all radiation on a common scale for calculating tissue damage.

Dose equivalent is often expressed as millionths of a sievert, or micro-sieverts ( Sv).

Sievert (biological dose equivalent of radiation).

The similar-sounding dose equivalent can have slightly different definitions than equivalent dose, or it may refer to the same thing.

However, it is apparent from their definition of effective dose equivalent that "all other necessary modifying factors" excludes the tissue weighting factor.

The radiation exposure is normally expressed as a committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE).

The risk of lung cancer increases once the total radiation dose equivalent of inhaled plutonium exceeds 400 mSv.

It should also be noted that during normal operation, the effective dose equivalent from coal plants is 100 times that from nuclear plants.

"Two-dosimeter Algorithms for the Assessment of Effective Dose Equivalent"

It represents the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm (1000 mg/cm2) due to external whole-body exposure to ionizing radiation.

These surface doses are included in the NRC's shallow dose equivalent, along with contributions from penetrating (gamma) radiation.

Natural exposure varies from place to place but delivers a dose equivalent in the vicinity of 2.4 mSv/year, or about 0.3 Sv/h.

Non-SI units are still prevalent as well, where dose is often reported in rads and dose equivalent in rems.

A Study of the Angular Dependence Problem in Effective Dose Equivalent Assessment.

This quantity is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the "dose equivalent" because of the earlier name, and that misnomer in turn causes confusion with equivalent dose.

The international standard unit of dose or dose equivalent; one sievert (Sv) is equal to one hundred REMs.
