What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms radiation absorbed dose measurements from milligray, an SI unit, to millirad, a legacy CGS unit. It helps users translate modern dose values into the rad-based system for comparison and calibration purposes.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation dose value in milligray (mGy).
- Select milligray as the input unit and millirad as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent dose in millirad.
- Review the converted value for reporting or calibration needs.
Key Features
- Converts milligray (mGy) to millirad (mrd) accurately based on the established conversion rate.
- Supports dose reporting in medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and radiation protection.
- Browser-based and easy to use without requiring special equipment.
- Helps maintain consistency across different radiation dose measurement units.
Examples
- 2 milligray equals 200 millirad (2 mGy × 100).
- 0.5 milligray equals 50 millirad (0.5 mGy × 100).
Common Use Cases
- Reporting patient radiation dose from diagnostic imaging like CT scans and radiography.
- Monitoring and recording radiation exposure in fluoroscopy and interventional radiology.
- Calibrating and checking radiation detectors and dosimeters used in radiation protection.
- Converting modern dose measurements to compare with historical rad-based data.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify units before conversion to ensure accurate results.
- Use the tool for consistency when working with mixed-unit radiation dose datasets.
- Remember the conversion rate is 1 mGy equals 100 mrd to avoid manual calculation errors.
Limitations
- The millirad is a non-SI legacy unit and may reflect different measurement standards in historical records.
- Conversions involving very small doses might include small rounding discrepancies.
- High precision requirements may not be fully met due to the legacy unit's nature.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why convert milligray to millirad?
- Converting from milligray to millirad allows users to compare modern SI unit doses with legacy rad-based measurements for calibration and historical data consistency.
- What is the conversion factor between milligray and millirad?
- 1 milligray equals 100 millirad.
- Can this converter be used for radiation dose monitoring?
- Yes, it supports monitoring in medical, environmental, and occupational radiation applications.
Key Terminology
- Milligray [mGy]
- An SI unit representing one thousandth of a gray, quantifying absorbed radiation dose as 0.001 joules per kilogram.
- Millirad [mrd]
- A legacy CGS unit equal to one thousandth of a rad, used historically to measure absorbed radiation dose.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of ionizing radiation energy deposited per unit mass of material.
