Converting from Microroentgen (µR) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by a material. It is a small unit where 1 microroentgen is equal to 0.000008695652 milligray.

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is another unit of measurement for ionizing radiation, with 1 milligray equivalent to 115000 microroentgen. It measures the energy absorbed per unit mass by the material exposed to radiation.
