Röntgen equivalent man (rem), equivalent dose
Named after Wilhelm Röntgen (German scientist, 1845-1923), the roentgen equivalent in man (or mammal) or rem (symbol rem) is a unit of radiation dose equivalent. It is the product of the absorbed dose in rads and a weighting factor, WR, which accounts for the effectiveness of the radiation to cause biological damage.
