Converting from Microgray (µGy) to Microsievert (µSv) | Radiation

What is Microgray (µGy)

Microgray (µGy) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of tissue. It is a measure of the absorbed dose of radiation.

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit of measurement used to assess the biological effects of radiation on living organisms. It takes into account not only the absorbed dose of radiation but also the type of radiation and its potential to cause harm.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Microgray (µGy) and Microsievert (µSv) is straightforward since the two units are equivalent in the context of radiation:

• 1μGy=1μSv

• 9μGy=9μSv

• 6μGy=6μSv

• 5μGy=5μSv

Examples

1. Conversion from Microgray to Microsievert: If you have 3 µGy of radiation exposure, it is equivalent to 3 µSv of effective dose.

2. Conversion from Microsievert to Microgray: If you have been exposed to 10 µSv of radiation, it corresponds to an absorbed dose of 10 µGy.
