Convert Microrads to Micrograys
Convert Microrads (µrad) to Micrograys (µGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µGy = µrad × 0.01
About Microrads
The microrad (µrad) equals 10⁻⁶ rad = 10⁻⁸ Gy. Used in legacy US radiological instrumentation calibration documentation for very low-level survey instrument thresholds; some older NRC and EPA radiation protection records quote environmental dose rates in µrad/h when modern instruments report nGy/h. 1 µrad = 10⁻⁸ Gy = 10⁻² µGy.
About Micrograys
The microgray (µGy) equals 10⁻⁶ Gy. Typical organ doses from diagnostic X-ray procedures: chest X-ray ~0.01-0.1 µGy; mammography mean glandular dose ~1-3 mGy (i.e. 1000-3000 µGy); dental bitewing ~1-5 µGy. IAEA Safety Reports quote entrance surface doses in µGy for patient dose surveys. 1 µGy = 10⁻⁶ Gy.
