There are several types of radiation dose, each serving different purposes:
Absorbed Dose: This measures the energy deposited in a specific material and is expressed in Grays (Gy). Equivalent Dose: This accounts for the type of radiation and its biological impact, using a weighting factor. It is measured in Sieverts (Sv). Effective Dose: This considers the sensitivity of different tissues to radiation and provides an overall risk estimate, also in Sieverts (Sv).
