The equivalent dose is calculated by multiplying the absorbed energy, averaged by mass over an organ or tissue of interest, by a radiation weighting factor appropriate to the type and energy of radiation.

Coming off long-term lorazepam use may be more realistically achieved by a gradual switch to an equivalent dose of diazepam and a period of stabilization on this, and only then initiating dose reductions.
43.
:: : Except for " ( Redirected from Banana Equivalent Dose ) " I also see the same content on the two url's with a Danish IP, both when I'm logged in and out.
44.
This would avoid confusion between equivalent dose, effective dose and dose equivalent, and to use absorbed dose in Gy as a more appropriate quantity for limiting deterministic effects to the eye lens, skin, hands & feet.
45.
In the case of non-uniform radiation, or radiation given to only part of the body, which is common for CT examinations, using the local equivalent dose alone would overstate the biological risks to the entire organism.
46.
Studies have revealed that doses of ionizing radiation resulting from medical radiography procedures varies widely between equipment and facilities, suggesting that equivalent dose can be lowered to reduce their harmful effects without jeopardizing their diagnostic efficacy.
47.
The amount of luminescence released is used to calculate the equivalent dose ( De ) that the sediment has acquired since deposition, which can be used in combination with the dose rate ( Dr ) to calculate the age.
48.
Equivalent dose is designated by the ICRP as a " limiting quantity "; to specify exposure limits to ensure that " the occurrence of stochastic health effects is kept below unacceptable levels and that tissue reactions are avoided ".
49.
Developed by AHP's Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, bromenfac sodium or DurAct has been shown to have the same effect as an equivalent dose of a narcotic pain drug-but without narcotic side-effects such as drowsiness, nausea, dizziness and vomiting, or drug dependency.

The human equivalent dose ( HED ) or human equivalent concentration ( HEC ) is the quantity of a chemical that, when administered to humans, produces an effect equal to that produced in test animals by a smaller dose.
