Organs or tissues in the body for which tissue weighting factors are assigned in the effective dose. In many cases, each target tissue T corresponds to a single target region r<sub>T</sub>. In the case of the extrathoracic airways, thoracic airways, colon, and lymphatic nodes, however, a fractional weighting of more than one target region r<sub>T</sub> defines the target tissue T.
