text: It would certainly simplify matters if biological effects of radiation were directly proportional to the absorbed dose.
text: The effects of ionizing radiation may be directly proportional to the dose in rads, but they also depend on the type of radiation and the type of tissue.
text: The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) or quality factor (QF) is given in Table 1 for several types of ionizing radiation—the effect of the radiation is directly proportional to the RBE.
