What Is This Tool?
This converter lets you easily change measurements of radiation absorbed dose from gray (Gy), the SI unit for absorbed dose, to millirad (mrd), a legacy unit useful for low-level dose comparisons and historical data.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation dose value in gray (Gy) in the input field.
- Select 'gray [Gy]' as the source unit and 'millirad [mrd]' as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to view the equivalent dose in millirad.
- Use the results for reporting, calibration, or dose comparison purposes.
Key Features
- Converts radiation absorbed dose units from gray to millirad accurately according to standard conversion rate.
- Supports practical dose comparisons by bridging SI and legacy rad-based units.
- Useful for medical, environmental, and industrial radiation measurements.
- Browser-based and simple to use with no specialized software required.
Examples
- 0.5 Gray converts to 50,000 Millirad.
- 2 Gray converts to 200,000 Millirad.
Common Use Cases
- Prescribing and documenting radiation doses in radiotherapy treatments.
- Calibrating radiation detectors and dosimeters used in medical and industrial settings.
- Monitoring environmental and occupational radiation exposure at low levels.
- Comparing historical radiation dose records with modern measurements.
Tips & Best Practices
- Confirm unit selection before conversion to ensure accuracy.
- Use this tool to maintain consistency when working with both modern and legacy radiation dose units.
- Understand the context of absorbed dose measurements, especially biological effects, when interpreting results.
Limitations
- Millirad is a legacy non-SI unit that may lack precision for advanced applications.
- Conversion does not integrate biological effect weighting factors applied in some dose assessments.
- Users should consider unit standardization for regulatory or clinical requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is gray used for in radiation measurement?
- Gray (Gy) measures the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation energy deposited per kilogram of material and is widely used in dosimetry and radiotherapy.
- Why convert from gray to millirad?
- Converting enables comparison with legacy rad-based units, useful for low-level dose monitoring and historical data analysis.
- Is millirad an international standard unit?
- No, millirad is a legacy unit from the CGS system and is not part of the modern SI units.
Key Terminology
- Gray [Gy]
- The SI unit of absorbed dose, representing one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter.
- Millirad [mrd]
- A legacy unit equal to one thousandth of a rad, used historically for absorbed dose measurements in low-level radiation exposure.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of energy imparted by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material or biological tissue.
