What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert various radiation units including absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and exposure units used in medical imaging, radiation safety, and environmental monitoring. It supports both SI and legacy units, providing precise conversions based on established factors.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the numeric value of the radiation measurement you want to convert.
- Select the input unit from options like Gray (Gy), Sievert (Sv), Rad, Rem, or others.
- Choose the target unit you wish to convert the value into.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in the desired unit.
- Use optional rounding settings if needed to fit regulatory or scientific contexts.
Key Features
- Supports conversion between Gray, Sievert, Rad, Rem, Roentgen, and other radiation units.
- Includes exact conversion factors for absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and exposure units.
- Handles both modern SI units and older legacy units used in different fields.
- Fast and easy-to-use online interface without the need for software installation.
- Suitable for medical, environmental, nuclear engineering, and radiation protection applications.
Examples
- Convert 1 rad to Gray: 1 rad → 0.01 Gy
- Convert 1 rem to Sievert: 1 rem → 0.01 Sv
- Convert various micro and milli units to their respective base units.
Common Use Cases
- Converting radiation doses in medical imaging and nuclear medicine.
- Assessing radiation exposure levels for occupational safety.
- Measuring environmental radiation and background levels.
- Performing nuclear engineering and scientific radiation calculations.
- Comparing equivalent doses for health physics evaluations.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always confirm the unit type before converting to ensure accurate results.
- Use exact conversion factors provided for regulatory or medical applications.
- Be aware that biological effects depend on radiation type and tissue sensitivity.
- Check if rounding is appropriate for your specific measurement needs.
- Refer to specific regulations when interpreting converted radiation values.
Limitations
- Conversions assume standard radiation weighting factors and do not account for variations in biological impact.
- Unit conversions do not reflect differences in energy or tissue sensitivity.
- Legacy units may not be supported in all contexts or regions.
- The tool does not measure actual radiation but converts between units of measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this tool convert between all radiation units?
- It converts many common absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and exposure units including both SI and legacy units but does not cover every possible unit.
- Are the conversion factors exact or approximate?
- The tool uses exact SI and legacy radiation conversion factors suitable for medical, regulatory, and scientific use.
- Can this tool account for biological differences in radiation effects?
- No, the tool assumes standard weighting factors and does not adjust for specific radiation types or tissue sensitivities.
Key Terminology
- Gray (Gy)
- The SI unit of absorbed radiation dose defined as one joule per kilogram.
- Sievert (Sv)
- SI unit for equivalent or effective dose considering biological effects.
- Rad (rad)
- A legacy unit of absorbed dose where 1 rad equals 0.01 Gray.
- Rem (rem)
- Legacy equivalent dose unit where 1 rem equals 0.01 Sievert.
- Roentgen (R)
- Legacy unit measuring radiation exposure in air.
- Coulomb per Kilogram (C/kg)
- SI unit of exposure replacing the roentgen.
