Difference between Dosimetry and Linear no-threshold model

Dosimetry vs. Linear no-threshold model

Radiation dosimetry in the fields of health physics and radiation protection is the measurement, calculation and assessment of the ionizing radiation dose absorbed by the human body. The linear no-threshold model (LNT) is a model used in radiation protection to quantify radiation exposure and set regulatory limits.

Similarities between Dosimetry and Linear no-threshold model

Dosimetry and Linear no-threshold model have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dosimeter, Effective dose (radiation), Equivalent dose, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Health physics, International Commission on Radiological Protection, Ionizing radiation, Radiation protection, Radiation therapy, Radioactive contamination, Radon, Sievert, X-ray.

International Commission on Radiological Protection

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent, international, non-governmental organization, with the mission to provide recommendations and guidance on radiation protection.

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

Radiation protection

Radiation protection, sometimes known as radiological protection, is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, and the means for achieving this".

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.

Radioactive contamination

Radioactive contamination, also called radiological contamination, is the deposition of, or presence of radioactive substances on surfaces or within solids, liquids or gases (including the human body), where their presence is unintended or undesirable (from the International Atomic Energy Agency - IAEA - definition).

Sievert

The sievert (symbol: SvNot be confused with the sverdrup or the svedberg, two non-SI units that sometimes use the same symbol.) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI) and is a measure of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body.
