The equivalent dose in an organ or tissue is given by:
</div>
where D<sub>R,T</sub> is the mean absorbed dose from radiation R in a tissue or organ T, and w<sub>R</sub> is the radiation weighting factor. The SI unit of equivalent dose is joule per kilogram (J/kg<sup>-1</sup>), and its special name is sievert (Sv). ([[ICRP Publication 123]], 2013)

The equivalent dose to a tissue or organ is deο¬ned as:
<div style='text-align: center;'>
</math>
</div>
where π€π
is the radiation weighting factor for radiation type R, and π·π
,π is the organ absorbed dose from radiation type R in a tissue or organ ππ of the Reference Adult Male or the Reference Adult Female. As π€π
is dimensionless, the SI unit for the equivalent dose is the same as for absorbed dose, J kg-1, and its special name is sievert (Sv). (From [[ICRP Publication 130]], 2015)
