Radiation Absorbed Dose Converters

Convert between radiation absorbed dose units including grays (Gy), milligrays (mGy), and rad using exact multiplicative relationships.

Explanation

Absorbed dose describes the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass. This hub normalizes every factor through grays (Gy) so mirror conversions remain stable and reversible. Exact equivalence: 1 rad = 0.01 Gy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SI unit of absorbed dose?

The SI unit is the gray (Gy).

How is rad related to Gy?

Exactly: 1 rad = 0.01 Gy.

What does mGy mean?

Milligray (mGy) means one-thousandth of a gray: 1 mGy = 0.001 Gy.

Are absorbed dose conversions multiplicative?

Yes. These conversions are purely multiplicative with no offsets.
