Radiation Absorbed Dose Converter (Gy / rad)

Convert radiation absorbed dose between Gy (gray = J/kg, SI base), kGy (1 = 1000 Gy), cGy (1 = 0.01 Gy), mGy (1 = 0.001 Gy), and rad (1 = 0.01 Gy). Converts via Gy to the target unit and lists the equivalent value in all five units. ⚠️ Absorbed dose is NOT equivalent dose: converting Gy → Sv requires multiplying by the radiation weighting factor w_R (X/γ/β = 1, neutrons 5–20, alpha 20) — use the dose-equivalent converter for that side. Reference values: chest X-ray ≈ 1e-4, CT scan ≈ 1e-2, radiotherapy fraction ≈ 2, whole-body LD50/60 ≈ 4–6 Gy.
