Converting from Megagray (MGy) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of radiation in the International System of Units (SI). One megagray is equal to one million grays, which is a large amount of radiation exposure.

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is also a unit of absorbed dose of radiation in the SI system, but it is much smaller than a megagray. One milligray is equal to one thousandth of a gray, which represents a smaller amount of radiation exposure compared to a megagray.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from megagrays to milligrays, you can use the following formula:

Milligrays (mGy)=Megagrays (MGy)×1000000000

And to convert from milligrays to megagrays, the formula is:

Megagrays (MGy)=Milligrays (mGy)×0.000000001

Examples

1. Converting 11 MGy to mGy:

11 MGy=11×1000000000=11000000000 mGy

2. Converting 14 mGy to MGy:

14 mGy=14×0.000000001=0.000000014 MGy

3. Converting 5 MGy to mGy:

5 MGy=5×1000000000=5000000000 mGy

This article provides a simple guide on converting between megagrays and milligrays for radiation dose measurements.
