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.

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Currently, Though supplanted by the sievert in contemporary applications, it remains in use for historical reference and specific legacy evaluations.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.
