Gray
About
Initially, A unit that quantifies the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a given mass, where each joule per kilogram equates to one gray.
Historical Background
Throughout history, Named after Louis Harold Gray, this unit was introduced to provide a direct measure of absorbed dose based on energy per unit mass. Subsequently, this helped establish its widespread use.
Modern Applications
Today, Widely applied in radiation therapy and protective monitoring to precisely assess energy absorption in tissues. Moreover, it continues to serve essential measurement needs.
Rad
About
Primarily, A traditional unit that expresses the energy absorbed per unit mass, forming the basis of early radiation measurement systems.
Historical Background
Over time, Introduced during the formative years of radiological research, the rad was instrumental in establishing early dosimetric standards. As a result, it became a standard measurement unit.
Modern Applications
Currently, Largely replaced by the gray in modern contexts, it still appears in historical documents and certain legacy applications. Furthermore, its use continues to expand in various fields.
