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

The mean [[absorbed dose]] in a specified organ or tissue region <math>r_T</math> is given by:

The SI unit of mean [[absorbed dose]] is joule per kilogramme (J kg<sup>-1</sup>) and its special name is [[gray]] (Gy). The mean [[absorbed dose]] in an organ is sometimes termed organ dose. === from [[ICRP Glossary|GlossaryPublication 139]], 2007 === The [[absorbed dose]]'''<math>D_T</math> averaged over the tissue or organ <math>T</math> which is given by:
