Rem
rem

A unit of dose equivalent. The symbol is rem. It is mainly used in the field of radiation protection. 1 rem is the amount of any type of radiation that produces the same biological effect as 1 rad (rad) of X-rays or gamma rays. It is generally expressed as dose equivalent (rem) = dose (rad) x quality factor. Currently, the official unit of dose equivalent is not rem but the SI sievert (Sv). 1 Sv = 100 rem.
