Questions and Answers

What does the effective dose equivalent (HE) represent?

The dose equivalent for the most sensitive tissue

Sum of the weighted dose equivalents for various tissues or organs (correct)

Total radiation exposure received internally and externally

Overall dose equivalent for the entire body

How are tissues differentiated in terms of radiation-induced effects?

By their sensitivity to radiation-induced effects (correct)

By their distance from the radiation source
