Rem
About
Initially, A unit that evaluates radiation exposure by coupling the physical dose with its corresponding biological effect.
Historical Background
Throughout history, Developed during the evolution of radiological health standards, the rem provided a more practical perspective on radiation risk. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.
Modern Applications
Today, Though supplanted by the sievert in contemporary applications, it remains in use for historical reference and specific legacy evaluations. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.
Gray
About
Primarily, 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
Over time, Named after Louis Harold Gray, this unit was introduced to provide a direct measure of absorbed dose based on energy per unit mass. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Widely applied in radiation therapy and protective monitoring to precisely assess energy absorption in tissues. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
