This tool calculates the effective dose (mSv) with respect to the DAP value (e.g. cGy.cm2) belonging to different types of radiograph . It does for instance, Gy.cm2 to mSv conversion. It is emphasized that the result is an estimation. The conversion factor relates to ICRP 103 and is obtained from: Radiation risks from medical x-ray examinations as a function of the age and sex of the patient, BF Wall et al., Report HPA-CRCE-028 (2011) ; www.hpa.org.uk Note: use point in stead of comma as a decimal separator. Input value dose area product (DAP) Gy.cm2 mGy.cm2 cGy.cm2 dGy.cm2 μGy.m2 ...

Effective dose E is used as a measure of the radiation dose for expressing relative risk to humans. The exposures related to different types of medical x-ray examinations can be compared using the quantity effective dose. Why effective dose? The effective dose E, often expressed in millisievert (mSv), is generally used as a measure of radiation dose of patients and personnel in medical diagnostics . Unless indicated otherwise, 'dose' often refers to effective dose. Using  the quantity effective dose, the exposures for different types of medical x-ray examinations can be compared. The effective dose is not a measurable quantity, but is calculated from the physically absorbed dose (with Gray (Gy) as a unit) in the exposed tissues/organs. The point is that different tissues/organs are not equally sensitive to the possible adverse effects of radiation, such as cancer induction and mutations. For this reason, the different tissues/organs have been assigned tissue weighting fac...
