Absorbed Radiation Dose Rate

The absorbed dose rate of radiation is a physical quantity that characterizes the intensity of radiation and is defined as the ratio of the increment in the absorbed dose of radiation over a time interval to the duration of this interval.

Absorbed radiation dose measures the amount of energy transferred by ionizing radiation to a substance. It depends on the type and energy of radiation, as well as on the properties of the irradiated substance.

Absorbed dose rate measures how quickly the dose accumulates over time. The higher the dose rate, the more intense the radiation occurs.

Dose rate is measured in grays per second (Gy/s) or in corresponding derivative units (mGy/h, μGy/min).

Knowing the absorbed dose rate is important for assessing the danger of radioactive exposure and taking measures to protect against ionizing radiation.

Introduction:

Absorbed dose rate is a physical parameter that describes the amount of energy absorbed by a biological tissue or organ as a result of exposure to radiation. The absorbed dose rate value is used as one of the key parameters in assessing the risk of radiation damage and diagnostic measures. In this article we will look at the concept of absorbed dose rate and how it can be used to
