FAQ

What is absorbed dose?

Absorbed dose is the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material. It's measured in grays (Gy) where 1 Gy = 1 J/kg.

What's the difference between Gy and rad?

Gy (gray) is the SI unit, while rad is the traditional unit. 1 Gy = 100 rad.

What units are supported?

This converter supports grays (Gy), rads (rad), joules per kilogram (J/kg), milligrays (mGy), micrograys (µGy), and kilograys (kGy).
