Converting from Microsievert (µSv) to Hectogray (hGy) | Radiation

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (μSv) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by human tissues. It is commonly used to measure low levels of radiation exposure, such as from medical imaging procedures or environmental sources.

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray (hGy) is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) for absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It is equivalent to 100 grays, where one gray is defined as the absorption of one joule of ionizing radiation energy per kilogram of matter.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Microsievert (μSv) and Hectogray (hGy) can be calculated using the following formulas:

1(µSv)=0.00000001(hGy)

1(hGy)=100000000(µSv)

Examples

1. 14 Microsieverts to Hectograys:

   • 14 µSv = 0.00000014 hGy

2. 4 Hectograys to Microsieverts:

   • 4 hGy = 400000000 µSv

3. 12 Microsieverts to Hectograys:

   • 12 µSv = 0.00000012 hGy
