What are Centigray and Femtogray

Definition of Centigray

The centigray (cGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, equating to one hundredth of a gray (Gy). In radiation therapy and radiology, the centigray is frequently employed to quantify the energy imparted by ionizing radiation to a small mass. Its use is significant in medical contexts where precise dosage measurements are crucial for effective treatment and minimizing side effects. The centigray's application ensures that radiation therapy is both safe and effective, as it allows healthcare providers to calculate and deliver the exact amount of radiation required for therapeutic purposes.

Definition of Femtogray

The femtogray (fGy) is an exceptionally small unit of absorbed radiation dose, measured as one quadrillionth of a gray (Gy), or 10^-15 Gy. It is primarily used in scientific research and nanotechnology fields where extremely minute quantities of radiation must be measured with high precision. The femtogray's utility lies in its ability to provide accurate measurements of radiation exposure at a microscopic scale, thereby facilitating advancements in fields such as dosimetry, radiobiology, and material science. Its significance is underscored by its precision in applications requiring meticulous measurement of radiation impacts.

Conversion of Centigray to Femtogray

1 cGy = 10^12 fGy
1 fGy = 10^-12 cGy

Example 1:
convert 5 cGy to fGy:
5 cGy = 5 × 10^12 fGy = 5,000,000,000,000 fGy

Example 2:
convert 3.5 cGy to fGy:
3.5 cGy = 3.5 × 10^12 fGy = 3,500,000,000,000 fGy
