Converting from Hectogray (hGy) to Microgray (µGy) | Radiation

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray (hGy) is a unit of measurement in the field of radiation, representing a hundred times the gray, which is the SI unit for absorbed dose of radiation.

What is Microgray (µGy)

Microgray (µGy) is also a unit of absorbed dose in the context of radiation, equal to one millionth of a gray. It is commonly used to measure small amounts of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Hectogray (hGy) and Microgray (µGy) can be expressed using the following formulas:

• To convert from Hectogray to Microgray: Microgray=Hectogray×100000000

• To convert from Microgray to Hectogray: Hectogray=Microgray×0.00000001

Examples

1. Converting 14 hGy to µGy:

14 hGy=14×100000000=1400000000 µGy

2. Converting 2 µGy to hGy:

2 µGy=2×0.00000001=0.00000002 hGy

3. Converting 12 hGy to µGy:

12 hGy=12×100000000=1200000000 µGy

By utilizing these conversion formulas, you can accurately convert between Hectogray (hGy) and Microgray (µGy) measurements in the context of radiation.
