What are Centigray and Nanogray

Definition of Centigray

Centigray (cGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing one hundredth of a gray. In medical and radiation therapy contexts, it quantifies the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a specific mass of tissue. The centigray is a critical measurement in oncology for administering precise radiation doses, ensuring optimal treatment efficacy while minimizing potential side effects. The unit's use provides a standardized method for professionals to calculate and communicate radiation doses, enabling effective treatment planning and comparison across different medical facilities.

Definition of Nanogray

Nanogray (nGy) is an incredibly small unit of absorbed radiation dose, equivalent to one billionth of a gray. It is often used in scientific research and environmental monitoring to measure low levels of radiation exposure. The nanogray provides a precise measurement for detecting minor radiation variations, essential for sensitive applications such as assessing background radiation levels or evaluating the safety of medical imaging devices. The use of nanogray allows researchers and professionals to accurately quantify and communicate radiation doses at minute scales, facilitating detailed analysis and ensuring safety standards are met.
