A dimensionless factor by which the organ or tissue absorbed dose component of a radiation type R is multiplied to reflect the [[relative biological effectivenesseffectiveness]] of that radiation type. It is used to derive the organ [[equivalent dose]] from the mean [[absorbed dose]] in an organ or tissue.
