Effective dose is a measure used to quantify the health risk associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. It takes into account not only the amount of radiation absorbed by individuals (dose) but also the biological effect of that radiation on different tissues and organs in the body. This is particularly important because various types of radiation (such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation) and different organs have different sensitivities to radiation damage.
