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.
Sievert
About
Primarily, A refined measurement that adjusts the absorbed dose by accounting for the varied biological effects of different radiation types.
Historical Background
Over time, Honoring Rolf Sievert’s contributions to radiobiology, this unit was developed to better correlate exposure with potential health outcomes. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Essential in radiation protection, it is used to estimate the risk associated with both occupational and environmental exposures. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
