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

What does millirad measure?
