Measuring Radiation Exposure
{"Image DocumentName": "Measuring Radiation Exposure", "Image ImageDescription": "the curie (Ci) is an exposure of 3.7 x 1010 events per second. no matter the kind of radiation. the gray (Gy) measures the amount of energy absorbed by body tissue from radiation. 1 Gy = 1 J/kg body tissue. the rad also measures the amount of energy absorbed by body tissue from radiation. 1 rad = 0.01 Gy. a correction factor is used to account for a number of factors that affect the result of the exposure \u2013 this biological effectiveness factor is the RBE, and the result is the dose in rems. rads x RBE = rems. rem = roentgen equivalent man.
