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.

Machine access
Conversions in this hub are represented by the canonical radiation-absorbed-dose family and its registered source and target units.
Its 6 published directions use the same canonical engine through the website, JSON API, OpenAPI and WebMCP.
API & Agent documentationExplanation
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.
Open a family hub to reach leaf pages with direct answers, calculator output, and reverse links built on the same constants.
Questions & answers
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.
