1. Roentgen equivalent manNamed after Wilhelm Röntgen (German scientist, 1845-1923), the roentgen equivalent in man (or mammal) or rem (symbol rem) is a deprecated unit used to measure the biological effects of ionizing radiation. The rem is defined as equal to 0.01 sievert, which is the more commonly used unit outside of the United States. Equivalent dose, effective dose, and committed dose can all be measured in units of rem. These quantities are products of the absorbed dose in rads and weighting factors.
