Roentgen is a Rem?

["William P. N. Smith" <wpns@compusmiths.com>]

Am I correct in assuming that a Roentgen is essentially equivelent to a

Rem?  I understand that r is measured in air (and instruments) and Rems use

some Q factor dependent on the type (energy?) of the radiation, but inthe

real world is Q usually unity?



Thanks!
