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.
Roentgen
About
Primarily, A unit of exposure that measures the ionization produced in air by X-rays or gamma rays rather than direct energy absorption by matter.
Historical Background
Over time, Named after Wilhelm Roentgen, whose discovery of X-rays revolutionized the field, this unit was pivotal in early radiation studies. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Today, it is mainly used for instrument calibration and historical comparisons in exposure measurement. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
