Converting from Gray (Gy) to Microgray (µGy) | Radiation

What is Gray (Gy)

The Gray (Gy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the absorption of ionizing radiation in human tissue.

What is Microgray (µGy)

The Microgray (µGy) is a subunit of the Gray, where one Gray is equivalent to one million Micrograys. It is commonly used to express smaller doses of radiation.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Gray (Gy) and Microgray (µGy) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from Gray to Microgray: 1Gy=1000000µGy

• To convert from Microgray to Gray: 1µGy=0.000001Gy

Examples

1. Converting 9 Gy to µGy:

9Gy=9×1000000=9000000µGy

2. Converting 14 µGy to Gy:

14µGy=14×0.000001=0.000014Gy

3. Converting 10 Gy to µGy:

10Gy=10×1000000=10000000µGy

By understanding these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Gray and Microgray measurements in radiation dosages.
