The phrase "average effective dose" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to medicine, radiation, or pharmacology to describe a typical amount of a substance that produces a desired effect.
Example: "The average effective dose of the medication was determined to be 50 mg for optimal results."
Alternatives: "mean effective dose" or "typical effective dose".
By the time they were evacuated a week or so later 10,000 people had picked up an average effective dose of 120 millisieverts, higher than has yet been seen in any member of the public from around Fukushima.
The average effective dose estimated from human PET data was 18.6 ± 3.74 μSv/MBq.
The average effective dose of PET for tumor imaging was 6.7 mSv, with a wide range of variation (the ratio between maximum and minimum values was 1.7).
The American College of Radiology (ACR), suggest a CTDIvol ≤3 mGy for standard size patients [8] while an NLST study concluded that acceptable CT screening can be accomplished at an overall average effective dose of approximately 2 mSv [9].
The net effective dose ΔE was computed by summing the various contributions to the departmental effective dose and subtracting the average effective dose to an inhabitant of the Netherlands, Delta E = {E_{{Nat_ work}}} + {E_{{x - rays}}} - {E_{{Nat_ hom e}}} (4 in which ENat_work and ENat_home were calculated according to Eq. 3.
The average effective dose equivalent was 2.8 ± 0.2 mSv.
When performing retrospectively ECG-gated, 64-slice coronary CTA, radiation dose values of up to 21 mSv have been reported, while average effective doses of this technique are in the range of 15 mSv [21, 22, 23].
The corresponding average effective doses were 0.234±0.073 mSv for Veo and 1.825±0.876 mSv for FBP.
We derived average effective doses in each age band for each CT category for the periods 1985-2000 and 2001-05.
Because it was impossible to obtain individual machine parameters for all CT procedures, we estimated average effective doses 26 per scan (in mSv) by site and year of scan, and by age.
In a more recent publication from the USA, there is a tendency to a higher averaged effective dose equivalent per nuclear medicine procedure, up to 10 mSv [ 30].
