Converting from Microgray (µGy) to Megagray (MGy) | Radiation

What is Microgray (µGy)

Microgray (µGy) is a unit of measurement for absorbed radiation dose. It is a very small unit used to quantify the amount of radiation absorbed by an object or material.

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a much larger unit of measurement for absorbed radiation dose. It is equal to one million micrograys and is commonly used when dealing with high levels of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

When converting between microgray (µGy) and megagray (MGy), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from microgray to megagray: MGy=1,000,000,000,000µGy​

• To convert from megagray to microgray: µGy=MGy×1,000,000,000,000

Examples

1. Converting 11 microgray (µGy) to megagray (MGy):

MGy=1,000,000,000,00011​=0.000000000011 MGy

2. Converting 8 microgray (µGy) to megagray (MGy):

MGy=1,000,000,000,0008​=0.000000000008 MGy

3. Converting 4 megagray (MGy) to microgray (µGy):

µGy=4×1,000,000,000,000=4000000000000 µGy

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert between microgray and megagray in the field of radiation.
