Effective dose is a standard metric used to assess stochastic radiation detriment from partial-body or non-uniform irradiation by applying established tissue weighting factors to individual organ doses.

The analysis

The claim states that radiation effective dose is calculated using standard mathematical weighting when only part of the body is irradiated. This is the foundational definition and purpose of the effective dose metric established by the ICRP, as confirmed by foundational literature and calculation guides like ICRP tissue weighting factor conversions in CT dosimetry.
