Converting from Hectogray (hGy) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray (hGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equivalent to 100 grays. It is commonly used in radiation therapy and radiation protection.

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equivalent to 0.001 grays. It is a smaller unit compared to hectogray and is used to measure lower levels of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between hectogray (hGy) and milligray (mGy) are as follows:

• To convert from hGy to mGy: mGy=hGy×1000

• To convert from mGy to hGy: hGy=mGy×0.001

Examples

1. Converting 17 hGy to mGy:

17hGy=17×1000=17000mGy

2. Converting 3 mGy to hGy:

3mGy=3×0.001=0.003hGy

3. Converting 10 hGy to mGy:

10hGy=10×1000=10000mGy

These calculations demonstrate how to convert between hectogray and milligray units in the context of radiation measurements.
