[ RadSafe ] Re: Tolerance Dose

[Prof. Dr.Wolfgang Doerr]

In clinical radiobiology/radiation oncology, the "tolerance dose" is  
the dose at which - for a certain organ and a defined (clinically  
relevant) endpoint - the expected incidence is 0. Alternatively, it  
can be the dose at which a certain incidence of the defined endpoint  
(e.g. 5%) is observed.
