International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)

• it is and independent, international, non-governmental organization.

• it’s main goal is to to provide recommendations and guidance on radiological protection concerning ionizing radiation.

• it is a sister organization to (ICRU)

Deep Dose Equivalent (DDE)

• it is the estimated dose to your internal organs.

• it applies to external whole-body exposure at a tissue depth of 1cm (1000 mg/ cm² ).

Lens Dose Equivalent (LDE)

• it is the estimated dose to lens of your eye.

• it applies to external exposure of the lens at a tissue depth of 0.3 cm (300 mg/cm²).

Shallow Dose Equivalent (SDE)

• it is the estimated dose to your skin. (whole body).

• it applies to the external exposure of the skin or extremity at a tissue depth of 0.007 cm (7 mg/cm²).

Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE)

• it refers to internal dose as a result of ingestion or inhalation of radioisotopes.

• This is negligible in our environment.

Committed Dose Equivalent Maximally Exposed Organ (CDE)

similar to CEDE, this quantity is internal and negligible in our environment maximally.

Total Organ Dose Equivalent Max Organ (TODE).

• it is the sum of the DDE and CDE.

• since CDE = 0 in our environment, this is equal to DDE.
