Biological Effects of Radiation Part 1: SI units of measurement (NCRP #160) ncrp#160 radiobiology si units of measurement Nov 21, 2025

Radiation has long been both a marvel and a menace in the medical world, powering life-saving diagnostic imaging while also carrying risks that must be meticulously managed. At the heart of understanding radiation’s biological effects lies the precision of measurement. That’s where SI (International System of Units) comes in—a globally adopted framework that enables radiologists, physicists, and health professionals to communicate and calculate radiation doses with consistency and clarity.
