How to Calculate Dose
What is Dose?
A radiation dose calculator converts between different radiation dose units (Gy, Sv, rem, rad) and estimates biological effect based on radiation type. Absorbed dose in gray (Gy) measures energy deposited; effective dose in sievert (Sv) weights by biological harm factor. Annual background radiation averages ~3 mSv.
