skos:definition "A number by which the 'absorbed dose' in a tissue or organ is multiplied to <br/>
reflect the 'relative biological effectiveness' of the 'radiation', the result being the <br/>'dose equivalent'.<br/>
Superseded by 'radiation weighting factor' in the definition of <i>equivalent dose<br/></i>in Ref. [16], but still defined, as a function of 'linear energy transfer', for use in <br/>calculating the 'dose equivalent quantities 'used in' monitoring'. The BSS [1] also <br/>
'—'<br/>
state that the mean 'quality factor Q 'at 10 mm depth in the 'ICRU sphere' can <br/>be used as a value of 'radiation weighting factor' for 'radiation' types for which <br/>the BSS do not specify a value (see 'radiation weighting factor').<br/>" (en)
