  1. (E/A0)1 is the previously published effective dose per unit administered activity (E/A0) by ICRP, (E/A0)2 is (E/A0) dose calculated with the new phantoms and old tissue weighting factors while (E/A0)3 is with the new phantoms and new weighting factors. (E/A0)2 − (E/A0)1))/(E/A0)1 and ((E/A0)3 − (E/A0)1)/(E/A0)1 is the difference in percentage (%) of the new values compared to the old. (E/A0)3 male and (E/A0)3 female are the estimations generated from the equivalent dose of each gender separately using the new phantoms and new weighting factors.
