What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms radiation absorbed dose measurements from millirad (mrd), a legacy CGS unit, into joule per milligram (J/mg), a derived SI-based energy per mass unit. It supports applications in medical, environmental, and laboratory settings for precise dose expression.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation dose value in millirad (mrd) into the input field
- Select millirad [mrd] as the source unit and joule/milligram [J/mg] as the target unit
- Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent dose in joule/milligram
- Review the result to assist in reporting or further calculations
- Refer to provided examples for guidance on interpreting the output
Key Features
- Converts millirad (mrd) to joule/milligram (J/mg) using established conversion rates
- Supports dose quantification for micro-scale and low-level radiation exposures
- Facilitates dose calculations in radiobiology, material testing, and radiation safety
- Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick and accurate conversions
- Provides examples to illustrate typical use cases and conversion results
Examples
- 5 millirad [mrd] converts to 5 × 10⁻¹¹ joule/milligram [J/mg]
- 100 millirad [mrd] converts to 1 × 10⁻⁹ joule/milligram [J/mg]
Common Use Cases
- Reporting small diagnostic X‑ray doses using millirad and converting to SI units
- Environmental and occupational dose monitoring for low-level radiation exposures
- Radiobiology experiments quantifying absorbed energy in milligram-scale samples
- Radiation-chemistry studies of localized energy deposition in microfabricated components
- Sterilization and material testing involving energy per milligram dose expression
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure correct unit selection before converting to avoid errors
- Use this tool for doses where expressing energy per mass at micro scale is relevant
- Refer to examples for interpreting very small converted values accurately
- Consider the legacy status of millirad units when comparing with modern SI measurements
- Use sensitive instrumentation when dealing with joule/milligram values due to their small magnitude
Limitations
- Millirad is a non-SI legacy unit that may be less precise than current units
- Joule/milligram values can be extremely small and require specialized detection
- The conversion assumes uniform energy distribution which may not reflect microscopic variations
Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology
- Millirad (mrd)
- A legacy CGS unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a rad; measures radiation energy deposited per unit mass.
- Joule/milligram (J/mg)
- A derived unit expressing energy absorbed per milligram of material; used in radiation dosimetry for small-scale dose quantification.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material.
