Tissue weighting factor
The factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that tissue or organ to the total, stochastic health detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body. It is weighted such that:
[math] /sigma CTDI_{100w} = \frac{1}{3}CTDI_{100}^{central} + \frac{2}{3}CTDI_{100}^{peripheral} [/math]

from ICRP Publication 139, 2018
A factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that tissue or organ to the total health detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body. It is weighted such that:
from ICRP Publication 133, 2016
The factor by which the equivalent dose to an organ or tissue T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that organ or tissue to overall radiation detriment from stochastic effects.
from ICRP Publication 131, 2015
The factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that tissue or organ to the total health detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body.
from ICRP Publication 130, 2015
The factor by which the equivalent dose to an organ or tissue T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that organ or tissue to overall radiation detriment from stochastic effects. It is defined such that:
from ICRP Publication 127, 2014
The factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that tissue or organ to the total health detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body. It is weighted such that:
from ICRP Publication 119, 2012
The factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ is weighted to represent the relative contributions of that issue or organ to the total detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body.
from ICRP Publication 116, 2010
The factor by which the equivalent dose in an organ or tissue T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that organ or tissue to overall radiation detriment from stochastic effects. It is defined such that:
from ICRP Publication 103, 2007 & ICRP Publication 110, 2008 & ICRP Publication 118, 2012
The factor by which the equivalent dose in a tissue or organ T is weighted to represent the relative contribution of that tissue or organ to the total health detriment resulting from uniform irradiation of the body. It is weighted such that:
