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Today, Largely replaced by the gray in modern contexts, it still appears in historical documents and certain legacy applications.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