| Quantity (Abbreviation) | Historical Unit | Historical Definition | SI unit | SI Definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activity (A) | curie (Ci) | 3.7×1010 transformations s−1 | becquerel (Bq) | s−1 |
| Absorbed dose (D) | rad (rad) | 10−2 Jkg−1 | gray (Gy) | Jkg−1 |
| Absorbed Dose Rate (Ď) | rad per second (rad s−1) | 10−2 Jkg−1s−1 | gray per second (Gy s−1) | Jkg−1 s−1 |
| Equivalent Dose (or Dose equivalent) (HT) | rem | 10−2 Jkg−1 | sievert (Sv) | Jkg−1 |
| Equivalent Dose Rate (or Dose equivalent rate) | rem per second (rem s−1) | 10−2 Jkg−1s−1 | sievert per second (Sv s−1) | Jkg−1 s−1 |
| Effective dose (or Effective Dose Equivalent) (HE) | rem | 10−2 Jkg−1 | sievert (Sv) | Jkg−1 |
| Linear energy transfer (LET) | kiloElectron Volts per micrometer (keV µm−1) | 1.602×10−10 Jm−1 | kiloElectron Volts per micrometer (keV µm−1) | 1.602×10−10 Jm−1 |
Jkg−1 = Joules per kilogram; Jkg−1s−1 = Joules per kilogram per second; Jm−1 = Joules per meter; s−1 = per second
