What is Hp(10) and Hp(0.07)?

Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) are personal dose equivalents, which represent the probability of stochastic health effects from radiation.

  • Hp(10) is the deep dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 10 mm below a specified point of the body.
  • Hp(0.07) is the shallow dose equivalent, also referred to as skin dose equivalent or surface dose equivalent. It is the equivalent dose at 0.07 mm below the surface of the body.

Currently, RadTarge II measures Hp(10). The option to switch between Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) will be added to future iterations of RadTarge II.
