sievert (Sv)
A unit used to derive a quantity called dose equivalent. This relates the absorbed dose in human tissue to the effective biological damage of the radiation. Not all radiation has the same biological effect, even for the same amount of absorbed dose. Dose equivalent is often expressed as millionths of a sievert, or micro-sieverts (µsv). One sievert is equivalent to 100 rem. For more information, see “primer on radiation measurement” from cdc.
