millirad to rad
Please provide values below to convert millirad [mrd] to rad [rd], or change ↔.
millirad [mrd]
Definition: A unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a rad.
Historyandorigin: The millirad was used to measure smaller doses of radiation, typically in medical or industrial settings.
CurrentUse: It is rarely used today, with most fields shifting to the gray system. However, it can still be found in some specific radiation dose reports.
funfact: The millirad is helpful for measuring lower levels of radiation exposure, such as in routine diagnostic radiology!
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 millirad to rad
1 millirad [mrd] = 0.001 rad [rd]
1 rad [rd] = 1000 millirad [mrd]
we use cross multiplication method
millirad [mrd] → rad [rd]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
