Specialty Definition: Dose
Domain Definition
Energy The absorbed dose, given in rads (or the international system of units, grays), that represents the energy absorbed from the radiation in a gram of any material. Furthermore, the biological dose or dose equivalent, given in rem or sieverts, is a measure of the biological damage to living tissue from the radiation exposure. (references)
The amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed per unit mass ofirradiated material at a specific location, such as a part of a human body. (references)
Food & Agriculture The amount of active principle applied, expressed generally as weight or volume per unit area, i. e. , as a dosage(rate). Source: European Union. (references)
Health The amount of a substance to which a person is exposed over some time period. Dose is a measurement of exposure. Dose is often expressed as milligram (amount) per kilogram (a measure of body weight) per day (a measure of time) when people eat or drink contaminated water, food, or soil. In general, the greater the dose, the greater the likelihood of an effect. An "exposure dose" is how much of a substance is encountered in the environment. An "absorbed dose" is the amount of a substance that actually got into the body through the eyes, skin, stomach, intestines, or lungs. (references)
The radiation dose is the amount of energy from radiation that is actually absorbed by the body. This is not the same as measurements of the amount of radiation in the environment. (references)
Medicine The sum of the doses absorbed in the same region for a series of irradiations. Source: European Union. (references)
Mining A. A special charge used in a blast furnace, designed to cure furnace troubles b. The amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed per unit mass of irradiated material at a specific location, such as a part of the humanbody. Measured in reps, rems, and rads. (references)
Nuclear Energy & Physics A general term denoting the quantity of radiation or energy absorbed. For special purposes, it must be appropriately qualified. Source: European Union. (references)
At a given point in space, the number of particles or photons incident during a given time interval on a small sphere, centred at that point, divided by the cross-sectional area of that sphere. Source: European Union. (references)
Physics The quotient d epsilon/dm, where d epsilon is the energy imparted to matter by ionising radiation in a suitably small element of volume of mass dm. Source: European Union. (references)
A term used in the past to represent the absorption of energy by matter from radiation or corpuscular emission. Source: European Union. (references)
