Conversion coefficients are defined as the ratio of the dose to a specified tissue or effective dose divided by the normalisation quantity. Incident air kerma, entrance surface air kerma, and kerma-area product can be used as normalisation quantities.

A coefficient relating a dose quantity to a physical quantity, both for internal and external radiation exposure. For external exposure, the physical quantity ‘fluence’ or ‘air kerma’ is chosen. In internal dosimetry, this term is also called a ‘[[dose coefficient]]’.
