What Does TEDE Stand For?

TEDE stands for Total Effective Dose Equivalent

Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is a comprehensive measurement used in radiation protection to assess the overall exposure of an individual to ionizing radiation. It accounts for both the amount of radiation absorbed and the biological effect of different types of radiation on human tissues. TEDE is expressed in sieverts (Sv) and is used to evaluate potential health risks associated with radiation exposure, ensuring safety standards are met in various environments, including medical, occupational, and environmental settings.
