equivalent to a uniform spheric distribution Explanation: The dose is taken from point or directional sources. An "ambient" source is uniform in all directions, as if the source was uniformly distributed on a sphere (radius d) So at a specific point in a radiation field of which sources are scattered, multiple or different in strength, this is the uniformly distributed quantity of radioactive material on a sphere centered on the point with a radius d that produces the same dose |
