Converting from Nanosievert (nSv) to Microgray (µGy) | Radiation

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of radiation measurement that quantifies the amount of radiation absorbed by biological tissues. It is used to assess the potential health risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation.

What is Microgray (µGy)

Microgray (µGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of tissue.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Nanosievert (nSv) and Microgray (µGy) is given by:

• 1(nSv)=0.001(µGy)

• 1(µGy)=1000(nSv)

Examples

1. Converting 5 Nanosieverts to Microgray:

   • 5(nSv)=5×0.001(µGy)=0.005(µGy)
   • 5(nSv) is equal to 0.005(µGy)

2. Converting 9 Microgray to Nanosievert:

   • 9(µGy)=9×1000(nSv)=9000(nSv)
   • 9(µGy) is equal to 9000(nSv)

3. Converting 13 Nanosieverts to Microgray:

   • 13(nSv)=13×0.001(µGy)=0.013(µGy)
   • 13(nSv) is equal to 0.013(µGy)
