Converting from Gray (Gy) to Microsievert (µSv) | Radiation

What is Gray (Gy)

Gray (Gy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose, measuring the amount of energy deposited in the material by radiation. It is used to express the amount of radiation energy absorbed by a specific mass of material.

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit of effective dose of ionizing radiation on human tissue. It is a commonly used unit in radiation protection to measure the potential harm caused by radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Gray (Gy) and Microsievert (µSv) is as follows:

• 1 Gy=1000000µSv

• 1 µSv=0.000001Gy

Examples

1. Converting 11 Gy to µSv:

   • 11 Gy = 11 * 1000000 = 11000000 µSv

2. Converting 7 µSv to Gy:

   • 7 µSv = 7 * 0.000001 = 0.000007 Gy

3. Converting 3 Gy to µSv:

   • 3 Gy = 3 * 1000000 = 3000000 µSv

These examples illustrate the straightforward conversion process between Gray (Gy) and Microsievert (µSv) for different radiation dose scenarios.
