Rad per second
One rad per second is equal to 0.01 gray per second.
History: The legacy CGS-based dose rate unit.
Current use: Still used in some US-based radiation safety and medical physics contexts.
Also written as rad/s.
Watt per kilogram
One watt (joule per second) of power absorbed per kilogram of mass.
History: Expresses dose rate as specific power absorption.
Current use: Used in both ionizing radiation and RF safety (SAR - Specific Absorption Rate).
Also written as W/kg.
