In radiology, the absorbed dose is the amount of energy that is deposited in any material by ionizing radiation. The unit of absorbed dose, the rad, is a measure of energy absorbed per gram of material. An alternative unit of absorbed dose is the gray. One gray equals 100 rads.

This is a key ion implantation process control parameter. A measure of the quantity of dopant injected into a wafer by an ion implantation process. Typically stated in units of (ions inferred) per cm2 in exponential notation (e.g. 3.5 x 1015 cm-2). It is controlled through the use of a sub-system called a Faraday, which measures the ion beam curren [..]

A measure of the amount of energy deposited in a material by ionising radiation. The unit is the joule per kilogram, given the name Gray (Gy).

Equivalent dose is a measure of the biological effect of radiation on a tissue or organ and takes into account the type of radiation. The unit is the sievert (Sv), but doses are usually measured in millisieverts (mSv) or microsieverts ().  

Effective dose is a measure of the biological effect of radiation on the whole body. It takes into account the equivalent dose and the differing radiosensitivities of body tissues. The unit is the sievert (Sv), but doses are usually measured in millisieverts (mSv) or microsieverts (microSv).

Dose is the amount of a material, e.g. a toxicant, taken up by the body during exposure to the material. In the context of smoking, dose is the amount of smoke constituent absorbed by the smokers body, a specified body compartment or a specified body organ. Biomarkers are indicators of dose. Dose can be derived from biomarker measurements either em [..]
