Converting from Megagray (MGy) to Centigray (cGy) | Radiation

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of radiation, where one megagray is equal to one million grays. It is commonly used to measure high levels of radiation exposure in industrial settings or radiation therapy.

What is Centigray (cGy)

Centigray (cGy) is also a unit of absorbed dose of radiation, but on a smaller scale compared to megagrays. One centigray is equal to one hundredth of a gray. It is often used in medical imaging and radiation treatment to measure lower levels of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Megagray (MGy) to Centigray (cGy), you can use the following formulas:

cGy=MGy×100000000

MGy=cGy×0.00000001

Examples

1. Converting 5 MGy to cGy:

5MGy=5×100000000=500000000cGy

2. Converting 4 cGy to MGy:

4cGy=4×0.00000001=0.00000004MGy

3. Converting 10 MGy to cGy:

10MGy=10×100000000=1000000000cGy

By using the conversion formulas provided, you can easily convert between Megagray (MGy) and Centigray (cGy) to accurately measure radiation exposure in various applications.
