Converting from Megagray (MGy) to Rad (rd) | Radiation

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a unit of measurement for absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It is equivalent to one million (1,000,000) grays, where one gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.

What is Rad (rd)

Rad (rd) is an older unit of radiation absorbed dose, representing the energy transferred by ionizing radiation to a mass of matter. One rad is equal to 0.01 gray or 100 ergs per gram.

Conversion Formulas

When converting from Megagray (MGy) to Rad (rd), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from MGy to rd: rd=MGy×100000000

• To convert from rd to MGy: MGy=rd×0.00000001

Examples

1. Convert 11 Megagray (MGy) to Rad (rd):

11MGy=11×100000000=1100000000rd

2. Convert 3 Rad (rd) to Megagray (MGy):

3rd=3×0.00000001=0.00000003MGy

3. Convert 9 Megagray (MGy) to Rad (rd):

9MGy=9×100000000=900000000rd

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas to easily convert between Megagray (MGy) and Rad (rd) units in radiation measurements.
