Radiation Absorbed Dose Converters
Convert between Gy, mGy, and rad using exact gray-based absorbed-dose relationships. This hub keeps SI and legacy rad routes aligned on dedicated mirror pages.
Scope & Verification
This hub groups related converter families so you can move from the category level to exact routes with one clear basis per page.
- Families are split so exact-factor, profile-based, density-based, and estimate-style pages do not collapse into one generic answer.
- Leaf pages keep calculator, common values, FAQ, and reverse routes aligned to the same assumption.
- Methodology and verification pages document how those assumptions are chosen and checked.
Explanation
Absorbed dose measures how much ionizing-radiation energy is deposited per unit mass. This hub normalizes every route through grays (Gy), so SI and rad-based pages stay exact, multiplicative, and reversible on the matching mirror page.
Radiation Absorbed Dose pages are organized by conversion direction so mirror leaves remain aligned and comparable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SI unit of absorbed dose?
The SI unit is the gray (Gy).
How is rad related to Gy?
Exactly: 1 rad = 0.01 Gy.
What does mGy mean?
Milligray (mGy) means one-thousandth of a gray: 1 mGy = 0.001 Gy.
Are absorbed dose conversions multiplicative?
Yes. These conversions are purely multiplicative with no offsets.
How do I switch direction?
Open the mirror page for the reverse conversion when you need the same gray-based relationship in the opposite direction.
