Converting from Centigray (cGy) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Centigray (cGy)

Centigray (cGy) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by an object. One centigray is equal to one hundredth of a gray (Gy) which is the SI unit of radiation dose.

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is another unit of radiation dose, where one milligray is equivalent to one thousandth of a gray (Gy). It is commonly used in medical and industrial applications to measure radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Centigray to Milligray, you can use the formula:

Milligray (mGy)=Centigray (cGy)×10

And to convert from Milligray to Centigray, the formula is:

Centigray (cGy)=Milligray (mGy)÷10

Examples

• 13 cGy is equal to 130 mGy (13 cGy x 10 = 130 mGy)
• 5 cGy is equal to 50 mGy (5 cGy x 10 = 50 mGy)
• 6 cGy is equal to 60 mGy (6 cGy x 10 = 60 mGy)

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily convert radiation doses between Centigray and Milligray. By understanding the relationship between these two units, you can accurately measure and compare radiation exposures in various settings.
