<description>This week, we&amp;#8217;ve looked at calculating radiation doses.  The absorbed dose D, measured in Grays (Gy), takes into account the energy E absorbed and the mass m of the absorbing tissue. The higher the energy, the greater the absorbed dose.  If you are wondering why the absorbing mass is important, consider the different masses of ... &lt;a title="dosimetry" class="read-more" href="https://mrmackenzie.co.uk/2020/09/dosimetry/" aria-label="Read more about dosimetry"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;</description>
