A rat is the most common experimental animal used for the realization of the radiation injury model. The certain thickness of rat skin was prepared by peeling off a rat skin. Radiation level was measured by using this rat skin. Also, The schematic of the formula was made that can predict the radiation absorbed dose (RAD) as a function of the thickness of the rat skin. Consequently, we will provide the RAD information in the realization of in-vitro experimental model regarding the rat's skin thickness by applying the formulas. Moreover, the results from this study can be effectively used for the in-vitro experiment of the rat subcutaneous tissue which was exposed to radiation.
