Absorbed dose, D, averaged over an organ or tissue region, T, as:
D_T=\frac{\epsilon_T}{m_T}
Where \epsilon_T is the mean total energy imparted in a tissue or organ T, and m_T is the mass of that tissue or organ.

The mean absorbed dose D_T to a target organ or tissue T is the sum of the contributions, D(T \leftarrow S), arising from nuclear transformations of the radionuclide in various source organs S, i.e.:
D_t = \sum_{S} D(T \leftarrow S)
