Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effective dose (EfD) limits can be expressed for all three options: whole-body exposure, partial-body exposure and exposure of individual organs. The concept of EfD is used to estimate the risk of stochastic effects, such as cancer, from exposure to ionizing radiation. The EfD limits are expressed in terms of the unit sievert (Sv), and are used to guide radiation protection practices for occupational and public exposures.
