Descriptor Spanish:

Dosis de Radiación

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	dosis de radiación
Entry term(s)	dosificación de la radiación dosificación de radiación dosis de la radiación unidades sievert
Scope note:	Cantidad de energía de radiación que se deposita por unidad de masa de una sustancia, como los tejidos de plantas o animales. En RADIOTERAPIA, la dosis de radiación se expresa en unidades gray (Gy). En SALUD RADIOLÓGICA, la dosis se expresa por medio del producto de la dosis absorbida (Gy) y el factor de calidad (una función de la transferencia de energía lineal), y se denomina dosis de radiación equivalente en unidades sievert (Sv).

Scope note:

The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

Concept UI	M0506029
Scope note	One sievert is the dose equivalent of radiation exposure imparted by ionizing X-RAY (roentgen rays) or other radiation undergoing an energy loss of 1 joule per kilogram of body tissue (l gray). One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem (roentgen equivalent in man).
Preferred term	Sievert Units
Entry term(s)	Sv Radiation Dose Equivalent Units, Sievert

Concept UI	M0506028
Scope note	One gray is equivalent to the radiation exposure that deposits one joule per kilogram of animal tissue or other material, or 100 rads.
Preferred term	Gray Units
Entry term(s)	Gy Radiation Units, Gray
