rad to microgray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to microgray [µGy], 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!
microgray [µGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 0.000001 grays.
Historyandorigin: The microgray is used to measure even smaller amounts of radiation, typically in diagnostic medicine or environmental monitoring.
CurrentUse: Used to measure environmental radiation or the dose in low-level medical imaging procedures.
funfact: Microgray doses are often encountered in environmental studies, such as assessing natural background radiation levels!

How to Convert rad to microgray
1 rad [rd] = 10000 microgray [µGy]
1 microgray [µGy] = 0.0001 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → microgray [µGy]
1 → 10000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*10000=1*x
by simplifying
x=15000
