ID: flight-time-equivalent-dose
The Flight-time equivalent dose (FTED) is a concept used primarily in the field of space radiation and aviation medicine to estimate the amount of ionizing radiation that a person is exposed to during a flight, particularly on high-altitude or long-duration flights. This measurement helps assess the potential health risks associated with radiation exposure for airline crew members and passengers.
