Converting from Hectogray (hGy) to Nanosievert (nSv) in Radiation

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray (hGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a mass of biological tissue.

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of equivalent radiation dose, representing the biological effect of ionizing radiation on living organisms. It is commonly used to assess the potential health risks associated with radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from Hectogray (hGy) to Nanosievert (nSv): Nanosievert=Hectogray×100000000000

• To convert from Nanosievert (nSv) to Hectogray (hGy): Hectogray=100000000000Nanosievert​

Examples

1. Converting 8 hGy to nSv: 8×100000000000=800000000000 nSv

2. Converting 6 hGy to nSv: 6×100000000000=600000000000 nSv

3. Converting 2 nSv to hGy: 1000000000002​=0.00000000002 hGy
