kilogray to rad
Please provide values below to convert kilogray [kGy] to rad [rd], or change ↔.
kilogray [kGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 10^3 grays.
Historyandorigin: The kilogray is used to measure significant doses of radiation, typically in fields like radiation therapy and industrial applications.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in radiation therapy and medical fields to calculate the dose delivered to patients.
funfact: Kilograys are critical in radiotherapy, where precise doses of radiation can be applied to treat tumors!
rad [rd]
Definition: A unit used to measure the absorbed dose of radiation, indicating the energy deposited per unit mass of tissue.
Historyandorigin: The rad (radiation absorbed dose) was introduced in the 1950s and was the standard unit for absorbed dose until the adoption of the gray (Gy).
CurrentUse: Though largely replaced by the gray, the rad is still occasionally used in certain contexts, especially in older literature.
funfact: One rad equals 0.01 gray (Gy), a unit now used more widely for measuring radiation exposure!

How to Convert kilogray to rad
1 kilogray [kGy] = 100000 rad [rd]
1 rad [rd] = 0.00001 kilogray [kGy]
we use cross multiplication method
kilogray [kGy] → rad [rd]
1 → 100000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*100000=1*x
by simplifying
x=150000
