Converting from Milligray (mGy) to Gray (Gy) | Radiation

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one-thousandth of a gray (Gy). The milligray is commonly used to measure relatively small levels of radiation exposure, such as in medical diagnostics.

What is Gray (Gy)

Gray (Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a specific material. One gray is equal to the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of the material. This unit is used in fields such as radiation therapy and industrial radiation processing.

Conversion Formulas

When converting between milligray (mGy) and gray (Gy), you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from milligray to gray, use the formula: Gy=mGy×0.001

• To convert from gray to milligray, use the formula: mGy=Gy×1000

Examples

• 6 milligray (mGy) is equal to 0.006 gray (Gy)
• 15 milligray (mGy) is equal to 0.015 gray (Gy)
• 4 milligray (mGy) is equal to 0.004 gray (Gy)
• 6 gray (Gy) is equal to 6000 milligray (mGy)
• 15 gray (Gy) is equal to 15000 milligray (mGy)
• 4 gray (Gy) is equal to 4000 milligray (mGy)
