Gray

About

Initially, A unit that quantifies the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a given mass, where each joule per kilogram equates to one gray.

Historical Background

Throughout history, Named after Louis Harold Gray, this unit was introduced to provide a direct measure of absorbed dose based on energy per unit mass. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.

Modern Applications

Today, Widely applied in radiation therapy and protective monitoring to precisely assess energy absorption in tissues. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.

Rem

About

Primarily, A unit that evaluates radiation exposure by coupling the physical dose with its corresponding biological effect.

Historical Background

Over time, Developed during the evolution of radiological health standards, the rem provided a more practical perspective on radiation risk. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.

Modern Applications

Currently, Though supplanted by the sievert in contemporary applications, it remains in use for historical reference and specific legacy evaluations. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
