If a $70 \mathrm{~kg}$ person received a dose of $3.2 \mathrm{mGy}$ of gamma rays of $\mathrm{RBE}=0.80$, what is the biologically equivalent dose in rem?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The biologically equivalent dose in rem is calculated by multiplying the dose in mGy by the RBE and converting to rem (1 mGy = 0.1 rem). So, $3.2 \times 0.80 \times 0.1 = 0.256$ rem, which rounds to 0.26 rem.
