What Is This Tool?
This tool converts absorbed dose measurements from rad (rd), a traditional radiation dose unit, to microgray (µGy), an SI derived unit. It helps update older dose values to a modern standard for use across medical, environmental, and technical fields.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation dose value in rad [rd].
- Select rad as the input unit and microgray [µGy] as the output unit.
- Click the convert button to see the dose in microgray.
Key Features
- Converts absorbed radiation dose from rad to microgray accurately.
- Supports update of legacy dose data to SI units for consistency.
- Browser-based and easy to use with minimal input steps.
Examples
- Convert 2 rad [rd]: 2 × 10000 µGy = 20000 µGy
- Convert 0.5 rad [rd]: 0.5 × 10000 µGy = 5000 µGy
Common Use Cases
- Updating historical radiotherapy dose records to SI units.
- Reporting absorbed doses in radiation protection and environmental monitoring.
- Characterizing doses in electronics testing based on legacy data.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the measurement context to select appropriate units.
- Use the conversion to maintain consistency when comparing doses from different sources.
- Remember the rad is a legacy unit; SI units like microgray are preferred for modern reporting.
Limitations
- Rad is a non-SI legacy unit and less commonly used today.
- Conversion assumes standard definitions; measurement variations might affect dose results.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why convert from rad to microgray?
- Converting to microgray updates older dose measurements to an SI unit, improving accuracy and allowing consistent reporting across different fields.
Key Terminology
- Rad [rd]
- A legacy unit of absorbed ionizing radiation dose equal to 0.01 gray, used historically in medical and radiation protection contexts.
- Microgray [µGy]
- An SI derived unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one millionth of a gray, used for precise low-level dose measurements.
