Sievert
About
Initially, A refined measurement that adjusts the absorbed dose by accounting for the varied biological effects of different radiation types.
Historical Background
Throughout history, Honoring Rolf Sievert’s contributions to radiobiology, this unit was developed to better correlate exposure with potential health outcomes. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.
Modern Applications
Today, Essential in radiation protection, it is used to estimate the risk associated with both occupational and environmental exposures. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.
Rad
About
Primarily, A traditional unit that expresses the energy absorbed per unit mass, forming the basis of early radiation measurement systems.
Historical Background
Over time, Introduced during the formative years of radiological research, the rad was instrumental in establishing early dosimetric standards. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Largely replaced by the gray in modern contexts, it still appears in historical documents and certain legacy applications. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
