Converting from Millisievert (mSv) to Centigray (cGy) | Radiation

What is Millisievert (mSv)

1 Millisievert (mSv)=0.1 Centigray (cGy)

The millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement for the dose of ionizing radiation absorbed by living tissues. It is commonly used in assessing radiation exposure and its biological effects on humans.

What is Centigray (cGy)

1 Centigray (cGy)=10 Millisievert (mSv)

The centigray (cGy) is also a unit of measurement for the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It represents the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a specific mass of tissue.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Millisievert (mSv) to Centigray (cGy):

Centigray (cGy)=10×Millisievert (mSv)

And to convert from Centigray (cGy) to Millisievert (mSv):

Millisievert (mSv)=0.1×Centigray (cGy)

Examples

• 14 mSv = 1.4 cGy
• 17 mSv = 1.7 cGy
• 12 mSv = 1.2 cGy
• 14 cGy = 140 mSv
• 17 cGy = 170 mSv
• 12 cGy = 120 mSv
