Rads to Milligrays Converter
1 rad = 10 milligrays
Unrelated to the radian, the unit of angle.
1 rad equals 10 milligrays
How to convert rads to milligrays
Absorbed dose is deposited energy per mass: 1 Gy = 1 J/kg and 1 rad = 0.01 Gy. Converting to sieverts requires radiation weighting information, rather than a universal unit factor.
mGy = rad × 10One rad is 10 milligrays, so a single multiplication converts any value.
100 mGy = 10 × 10Unrelated to the radian, the unit of angle.

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
