Formula
Formula
mrad = μGy × 0.1
Multiply any value in micrograys by 0.1 to obtain the value in millirads.
Worked example
Convert 100 μGy to mrad.
- 01Start with 100 μGy.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.1 = 10 mrad.
Result100 μGy = 10 mrad

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from μGy to mrad?
1 μGy equals 0.1 mrad. To convert, multiply the value in micrograys by 0.1.
How do I convert 1 μGy to mrad?
1 μGy = 0.1 mrad. For any value, multiply by 0.1.
How do I convert mrad back to μGy?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10. So 1 mrad = 10 μGy.
When would I need to convert microgray to millirad?
Radiation absorbed-dose conversions between μGy and mrad are used in radiological protection, medical physics, and nuclear-industry health physics. Gray (Gy) is the SI standard; rad remains common in older US health-physics documentation (1 Gy = 100 rad).
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
