Units of Absorbed Dose
Description
Absorbed dose has the dimension absorbed dose of radioactive energy per mass. The SI derived unit of absorbed dose is the gray, which is defined as a joule of absorbed radiation per kilogram.
Maple knows the units of absorbed dose listed in the following table.

gray
Gy
SI *
grays
SI
rad
rd
radiation
rads, gram_rad, gram_rads
An asterisk ( * ) indicates the default context, an at sign (@) indicates an abbreviation, and under the prefixes column, SI indicates that the unit takes all SI prefixes, IEC indicates that the unit takes IEC prefixes, and SI+ and SI- indicate that the unit takes only positive and negative SI prefixes, respectively. Refer to a unit in the Units package by indexing the name or symbol with the context, for example, gray[SI] or rad[radiation]; or, if the context is indicated as the default, by using only the unit name or symbol, for example, gray or gram_rad.
Note: The default context of the rad is angle, relating to a measurement of angle not absorbed dose.
The unit of absorbed dose is defined as follows.
A rad is defined as an erg of radiation per gram or gray.
