Converting from Kilogray (kGy) to Nanosievert (nSv) | Radiation

What is Kilogray (kGy)

Kilogray (kGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It is equivalent to one thousand grays. The kilogray is commonly used in radiation therapy and industrial processes involving radiation.

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of equivalent dose of ionizing radiation. It is one billionth of a sievert and is commonly used in measuring low levels of radiation exposure in medical and environmental contexts.
