Converting from Microroentgen (µR) to Hectogray (hGy) | Radiation

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a unit used to measure ionizing radiation. It is a small unit that represents a minute amount of radiation exposure.

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray (hGy) is a unit used to measure the absorbed dose of radiation. It is a much larger unit compared to Microroentgen and is commonly used in radiation therapy and nuclear medicine.
