rad to centigray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to centigray [cGy], or change ↔.
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!
centigray [cGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 0.01 grays.
Historyandorigin: Centigray is a smaller unit used for delicate measurements in medical and research fields.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in radiation therapy to determine small but precise radiation doses.
funfact: One centigray is equal to 10 rad, the older unit of radiation dose measurement!

How to Convert rad to centigray
1 rad [rd] = 1 centigray [cGy]
1 centigray [cGy] = 1 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → centigray [cGy]
1 → 1
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5
