(Gy) Gray is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose. 1 Gray is equal to the energy absorption of 1 Joule per kilogram.
The absorbed dose due to any type of radiation is measured in Gray.
1 Gray is equal to 100 rads in the older terminology.

One Planck unit is equal to 1 joule second (J x s) or about 0.7375 foot pound second (ft x lb x s). Atomic nuclei possess an intrinsic angular momentum referred to as spin, measured in multiples of Planck's constant. The unit is named for the German physicist Max Planck.

(Sv) The sievert is the SI unit of a dose equivalent, which accounts for relative sensitivities of different tissues and organs exposed to radiation. The effective dose, usually measured in millisievert (mSv),
attempts to reflect the biological effects of radiation.
One sievert equals an ionizing x-ray or gamma radiation energy loss of 1 joule per kilogram of body tissue (1 gray). One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem. It is named after Rolf Sievert, a Swedish medical physicist. Result Pages : |
