Called also maximum tolerated dose.

ef·fec·tive dose (ED),

1. the dose that produces a specific effect; when followed by a subscript (generally "ED₅₀"), it denotes the dose having such an effect on a certain percentage (for example, 50%) of the test animals; ED₅₀ is the median effective dose; 2. in radiation protection, the sum of the equivalent doses in all tissues and organs of the body weighted for tissue effects of radiation. The SI unit of effective dose is the sievert (Sv) (=100 rem). 3. in diagnostic radiology, if a patient weighing W absorbs A joules of energy, and the experimentally derived ratio of effective dose to energy absorbed in an anthropomorphic phantom with mass M is R, then the effective dose is A·R·M:W. This formula results in a larger value for children despite their lesser absorption of radiation.

ef·fec·tive dose

(ED) (e-fek'tiv dōs) 1. The dose that produces the desired effect; when followed by a subscript (generally "ED₅₀"), it denotes the dose having such an effect on a certain percentage (e.g., 50%) of the test animals; ED₅₀ is the median effective dose. 2. In radiation protection, the sum of the equivalent doses in all tissues and organs of the body weighted for tissue effects of different types of radiation. The unit of effective dose is the sievert (Sv) or rem.

ef·fec·tive dose

(ED) (e-fek'tiv dōs) Dose that produces a specific result; when followed by a subscript (generally "ED₅₀"), it denotes the dose having such an effect on a given percentage (e.g., 50%) of the test animals; ED₅₀ is the median effective dose.
