Specific effective energy, [math][SEE(T \leftarrow S)]_R[/math], is the energy, suitably modified for radiation weighting factor, imparted per unit mass of a target tissue [math]T[/math] as a consequence of the emission of a specified radiation [math]R[/math] from a nuclear transformation occurring in source region [math]S[/math], expressed as J s Bq-1 kg or Sv Bq-1.
