About Radiation Dose Converter
A comprehensive radiation dose converter tool that allows you to convert between various radiation dose measurement units. Whether you're working in radiation safety, medical physics, nuclear medicine, or health physics, this tool provides accurate conversions between grays, rads, sieverts, rems, roentgens, and their sub-units for both absorbed dose and equivalent dose measurements.
Why use a Radiation Dose Converter?
Radiation dose conversion is critical in radiation protection, medical physics, and nuclear safety. Different units measure different aspects of radiation dose - absorbed dose (gray, rad) and equivalent dose (sievert, rem), with exposure measured in roentgens. This tool ensures accurate dose calculations for safety assessments, medical procedures, and regulatory compliance.
Who is it for?
This tool is perfect for health physicists, medical physicists, radiation safety officers, nuclear medicine technologists, radiologic technologists, students studying radiation physics, and professionals working with ionizing radiation who need accurate dose unit conversions.
How to use the tool
- Enter the radiation dose value you want to convert in the input field
- Select the source unit from the dropdown (grays, sieverts, etc.)
- Choose the target unit you want to convert to
- Click 'Convert' to see the result instantly
- Use the swap button to quickly reverse the conversion direction
