rad to milligray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to milligray [mGy], 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!
milligray [mGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 0.001 grays.
Historyandorigin: The milligray is used for very small doses of radiation, especially in medical treatments or diagnostics.
CurrentUse: Widely used in medical imaging and radiology to measure low levels of radiation exposure.
funfact: Milligrays are often used in diagnostics like X-rays or CT scans to ensure patient safety!

How to Convert rad to milligray
1 rad [rd] = 10 milligray [mGy]
1 milligray [mGy] = 0.1 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → milligray [mGy]
1 → 10
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*10=1*x
by simplifying
x=15
