Converting from Millirad (mrd) to Kilogray (kGy)

What is Millirad (mrd)

Millirad (mrd) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It is equal to one thousandth of a rad.

1(mrd)=0.00000001(kGy)

What is Kilogray (kGy)

Kilogray (kGy) is another unit of radiation dose measurement, specifically in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand grays.

1(kGy)=100000000(mrd)

Conversion Formulas

To convert from millirad to kilogray, multiply the millirad value by 0.00000001. For example, to convert 17 millirads to kilograys: 17(mrd)×0.00000001=0.00000017(kGy)

Conversely, to convert from kilogray to millirad, multiply the kilogray value by 100,000,000.

Examples

• 9 millirads to kilograys: 9(mrd)×0.00000001=0.00000009(kGy)

• 16 millirads to kilograys: 16(mrd)×0.00000001=0.00000016(kGy)

• 17 kilograys to millirads: 17(kGy)×100000000=1700000000(mrd)

Use these conversions whenever you need to convert between millirad and kilogray values in the context of radiation measurements.
