Converting from Gray (Gy) to Megagray (MGy) | Radiation

What is Gray (Gy)

Gray (Gy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of mass.

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equal to one million grays. It is commonly used in the medical and scientific fields to measure high levels of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Gray (Gy) to Megagray (MGy), you can use the following formulas:

MGy=Gy×0.000001

To convert from Megagray (MGy) to Gray (Gy), you can use:

Gy=MGy×1000000

Examples

1. Converting 12 Gy to MGy:

MGy=12×0.000001=0.000012 MGy

2. Converting 11 MGy to Gy:

Gy=11×1000000=11000000 Gy

3. Converting 17 Gy to MGy:

MGy=17×0.000001=0.000017 MGy

By utilizing these conversion formulas, you can easily perform conversions between Gray and Megagray units in the context of radiation dosages.
