The numerical value of [[kerma]] approaches that of the [[absorbed dose]] to the degree that charged particle equilibrium exists, that radiative losses are negligible, and that the kinetic energy of the uncharged particles is large compared with the binding energy of the liberated charged particles. [[Kerma]] is sometimes used as an approximation to the absorbed dose.

[[Kerma]] is sometimes used as an approximation to the [[absorbed dose]]. The numerical value of [[kerma]] approaches that of the absorbed dose to the degree that charged particle equilibrium exists, that radiative losses are negligible, and that the kinetic energy of the uncharged particles is large compared with the binding energy of the liberated charged particles.
