• The ratio of the amount of energy from 200-
keV X-rays required to produce a given
biological effect to the amount of energy from
any other radiation to produce the same
effect is called the relative biological
effectiveness (RBE) of that radiation (Cember,
2009).
Quality Factor and Radiation Weighting Factor
• For health physics purposes, a conservative upper limit of the
RBE for the biological effect of greatest interest to humans
due to a radiation other than the reference X-rays is used as a
normalizing factor in adding doses from different radiations.
• This normalizing factor is called the quality factor and is
symbolized by the letter Q by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
• The ICRP renamed the quality factor the radiation weighting
factor, symbolized by wR
