What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms radiation absorbed dose measurements from millirad, a traditional unit used for low-level radiation doses, to centigray, a modern SI unit commonly applied in medical treatments and dosimetry.
How to Use This Tool?
- Input the radiation dose value in millirad (mrd)
- Select millirad as the source unit and centigray as the target unit
- Execute the conversion to obtain the equivalent centigray measurement
- Use the output for medical, safety, or environmental radiation dose applications
Key Features
- Converts millirad (mrd) to centigray (cGy) using a defined conversion rate
- Browser-based and straightforward to use
- Supports users in translating legacy radiation doses into contemporary units
- Helps standardize radiation dose documentation in clinical and environmental contexts
Examples
- 100 millirad (mrd) equals 0.1 centigray (cGy)
- 500 millirad (mrd) equals 0.5 centigray (cGy)
Common Use Cases
- Reporting small diagnostic X-ray doses with legacy units translated into SI units
- Monitoring environmental and occupational low-level radiation exposures
- Calibrating survey meters and dosimeters that reference rad-based units
- Planning and documenting radiation therapy doses using standardized units
Tips & Best Practices
- Use conversions to compare historical and current radiation dose data accurately
- Apply centigray units for documenting therapeutic radiation doses
- Recognize the appropriate dose range for each unit—millirad for low doses, centigray for higher therapeutic levels
- Verify calibration standards when interpreting converted values to avoid discrepancies
Limitations
- Millirad is a legacy unit less common in modern practice, possibly causing varying calibration references
- Centigray measures higher dose ranges, while millirad suits low or diagnostic doses
- Conversions may involve rounding differences due to historical measurement standards
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does millirad measure?
- Millirad is a legacy CGS unit that quantifies absorbed radiation dose as one thousandth of a rad, representing low-level energy deposited by ionizing radiation.
- Why convert millirad to centigray?
- Converting millirad to centigray helps translate historical or low-dose radiation measurements into a modern SI unit commonly used in medical treatment and radiation safety.
- What is the conversion rate from millirad to centigray?
- 1 millirad equals 0.001 centigray.
Key Terminology
- Millirad (mrd)
- A unit equal to one thousandth of a rad, used historically to measure low-level absorbed radiation doses.
- Centigray (cGy)
- A unit representing one hundredth of a gray, commonly used to quantify absorbed radiation doses in medical therapy.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material.
