About Radiation Dose Conversion
Radiation dose measurement is critical in many fields, including medical treatments, radiation protection, and scientific research. Converting between different units of radiation dose helps ensure accurate assessment and comparison across different systems and applications.
Common units of radiation dose measurement include:
- Gray (Gy) - The SI unit of absorbed dose, representing the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.
- Sievert (Sv) - The SI unit of dose equivalent, reflecting the biological effect of radiation. It is used to account for the type of radiation and its effect on human tissue.
- Rad (rd) - A unit of absorbed dose in the CGS system, equivalent to 0.01 Gray.
- Rem (rem) - A unit of dose equivalent in the CGS system, equivalent to 0.01 Sievert.
