  1. 12 • Röntgen Radiation Measurement Units • Rad • Rem • Curie • SI Units HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21

  2. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 13 Röntgen • unit of exposure • Does not equate energy deposited to biological damage • No longer addressed by 10CFR20

  3. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 14 Rad • unit of absorbed dose • Applies to all radiation types in all absorbers • Does NOT account for RBE

  4. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 15 Relative Biological Effectiveness(RBE) • RBE = Dose of 250 kVp X-rays to produce effect • Different radiation types are more effective at causing biological damage • The Rad does not account for RBE Dose of other radiation for same effect

  5. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 16 Linear Energy Transfer(LET) • Avg. energy deposited per unit distance traveled • Quality Factor calculated from LET • Relates to biological damage induced by radiation!

  6. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 17 LET vs. QFs LET (kev/µmeter) Q ≤ 3.5 1 7 2 53 10 ≥175 20

  7. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 18 Röntgen Equivalent Man(Rem) • Equates energy deposited to biological damage done • Rem = Rad X Quality Factor • Does account for RBE

  8. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 19 QFs from 10CFR20 Radiation Type Q X-ray or gamma/Beta particles 1 Thermal Neutrons 2 Neutrons of unknown energy 10 Alpha particles/FFs 20

  9. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 20 Curie • unit of radioactivity • Amount of material decaying at a rate of 3.7 X 1010 dps • Basis is decay rate of Ra-226

  10. HPT001.007 Revision 3 Page of 21 21 SI Units • 1 Gray = 100 Rads • 1 Sievert = 100 Rem • 1 Becquerel = 1 dps
