"Most whole-body EPDs measure only Hp(10). Dose is typically displayed in sieverts (Sv) and dose rate in microsieverts or millisieverts per hour (µSv/h or mSv/h) 4."
"Hp(10): personal dose equivalent at a depth of 10 mm; used for more penetrating radiation (e.g. x-rays, gamma rays); does not directly measure effective dose 4"
"Hp(0.07): dose at a depth of 0.07 mm; used to assess superficial exposure to skin and extremities 2,3"
"Hp(3): dose at a depth of 3 mm; used specifically to assess dose to the lens of the eye"

"the signal is amplified and energy compensation applied; because skin and silicon differ in density and therefore absorb radiation at different rates, as defined by the linear attenuation coefficient, filters or correction algorithms are used to bring the response closer to the true tissue dose 1,4"
