The "H" term in dose equations -Reply

[DAVID HARRISON <DHARRISON@doe.lanl.gov>]

Dose Equivalent.  This is the product of the absorbed dose in tissues, the
quality factor whose value depends on the type of radiation, and the
modifying factor whose value is currently set to one.

How ya doin', Brian?

What is the "H" in dose equations short for?

Thanks to anyone who can answer.
