Abstract
The ICRU-defined nonstochastic quantity absorbed dose is related to the stochastic quantity energy imparted. In this paper the corresponding stochastic quantities energy transferred and net energy transferred are defined as precursors for kerma and collision kerma, respectively. This forms a rational fundamental framework for radiation dosimetry which facilitates its teaching and understanding.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
