Absorbed Dose Conversion Formulas
Gray to Rad:
rad = Gy × 100
Calculation: 1 Gy = 1 × 100 = 100 rad
Rad to Gray:
Gy = rad ÷ 100
Calculation: 100 rad = 100 ÷ 100 = 1 Gy
Milligray to Gray:
Gy = mGy ÷ 1000
Calculation: 1000 mGy = 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 Gy
Centigray to Gray:
Gy = cGy ÷ 100
Calculation: 100 cGy = 100 ÷ 100 = 1 Gy
Kilogray to Gray:
Gy = kGy × 1000
Calculation: 1 kGy = 1 × 1000 = 1000 Gy
Microgray to Gray:
Gy = μGy ÷ 1,000,000
Calculation: 1000 μGy = 1000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.001 Gy
