This week, we’ve looked at calculating radiation doses. The absorbed dose D, measured in Grays (Gy), takes into account the energy E absorbed and the mass m of the absorbing tissue. The higher the energy, the greater the absorbed dose. If you are wondering why the absorbing mass is important, consider the different masses of ... Read more
