What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms absorbed dose measurements from dekagray (daGy), a modern SI multiple of the gray, into millirad (mrd), a legacy unit used for lower-level radiation doses. It supports tasks such as radiotherapy planning, environmental monitoring, and instrument calibration.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the radiation dose value expressed in dekagray (daGy).
  • Select dekagray as the source unit and millirad as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent absorbed dose in millirad.
  • Review the results for use in medical dosimetry, radiation monitoring, or calibration purposes.

Key Features

  • Supports conversion between dekagray and millirad units for absorbed radiation dose.
  • Based on precise conversion rate: 1 daGy equals 1,000,000 mrd.
  • Suitable for translating high-level doses into legacy units for comparison and calibration.
  • Useful for radiotherapy totals, radiation protection, and dosimeter specifications.

Examples

  • 2 daGy equals 2,000,000 mrd.
  • 0.5 daGy equals 500,000 mrd.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting radiotherapy treatment doses measured in dekagray to compare with historic rad-based units.
  • Assessing environmental and occupational low-level radiation exposure using legacy units.
  • Calibrating survey meters and dosimeters that rely on rad or millirad measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter to match modern absorbed dose values to legacy unit frameworks when needed.
  • Verify the context of dose units before conversion, especially in high-precision scientific work.
  • Apply conversions primarily when dealing with historical data comparison or instrument calibration.

Limitations

  • Millirad is a legacy unit and has limited relevance in current scientific dosimetry.
  • Large values result when converting from dekagray to millirad, which can be cumbersome to interpret.
  • High-precision dose measurements generally use gray and its multiples instead of millirad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between dekagray and millirad units?
Dekagray is a modern SI-derived unit used for high absorbed radiation doses, while millirad is a smaller, legacy unit derived from the rad, used mainly for low-level dose measurements and historic data.

Key Terminology

Dekagray (daGy)
A metric multiple of the gray equal to 10 grays, used to express high absorbed radiation doses.
Millirad (mrd)
A thousandth of a rad, a legacy CGS unit for absorbed radiation dose, representing low-level exposures.
Absorbed Dose
The amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material.
