A 75 kg person receives a whole-body radiation dose of 2.4 * 10-4 Gy, delivered by alpha particles for which the RBE factor is 12. Calculate (a) the absorbed energy in joules and the dose equivalent in (b) sieverts and (c) rem.
A typical chest x-ray radiation dose is 250 mSv, delivered by x rays with an RBE factor of 0.85. Assuming that the mass of the exposed tissue is one-half the patient’s mass of 88 kg, calculate the energy absorbed in joules.
A 53.0 kgkg laboratory worker is exposed to 26.0 mJmJ of beta radiation with RBE = 1.5.
What is the dose equivalent in mremmrem?
