Fallout – see exactly how many rads I have

fallout-4

Basically, I don't want to waste any RadAway if, for example, it will remove 300 rads and I only have 150. Especially if I'm low on RadAway and/or not near a doctor.

In Fallout 3/New Vegas, I'm used to seeing some number on my Stats page of the pip boy (from what I remember, maybe it was somewhere else exactly). Did Fallout 4 completely remove the exact number and I just have to guess based on my health bar? Or am I missing some other location that will tell me how much I have?

I found the solution while tediously studying the pip boy.
While it doesn't give an exact number, there is a gauge to the right of the main pip boy screen that reflects how much radiation you've contracted.

You cannot really determine it down to the exact rad, but should be able to guess to within 10 or so rads. As far as I can see, there is no rads bar or anything in the actual pip boy screen itself (as there was in FO3 or New Vegas).

If anyone finds it difficult to read the gauge, zooming in a bit (with the touchpad on a dualshock) makes it a little easier.
And as rpmerf commented, right click zooms on PC.
