The equivalent dose in an organ or tissue is given by:
<div style='text-align: center;'>
<math>
H_T = \displaystyle \sum_{R} w_RD_{R,T}
</math>
</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)
