Converting from Rad (rd) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Rad (rd)

The Rad (rd) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It measures the amount of energy absorbed by the material being irradiated. One rad is equal to 0.01 gray.

What is Milligray (mGy)

The Milligray (mGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation which is equivalent to one thousandth of a gray. It is commonly used in medical and industrial settings to quantify radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Rad (rd) to Milligray (mGy), you can use the following formula:

mGy=rd×10

To convert from Milligray (mGy) to Rad (rd), you can use the formula:

rd=mGy×0.1

Examples

1. Converting 13 Rad (rd) to Milligray (mGy):

13rd=13×10=130mGy

2. Converting 6 Rad (rd) to Milligray (mGy):

6rd=6×10=60mGy

3. Converting 9 Milligray (mGy) to Rad (rd):

9mGy=9×0.1=0.9rd

As shown in the examples, the default conversion factors are:

• 1 Rad (rd) is equal to 10 Milligray (mGy).
• 1 Milligray (mGy) is equal to 0.1 Rad (rd).

For any radiation-related calculations, you can use the provided formulas to easily convert between Rad and Milligray.
