What are Gigagray and Hectogray

Definition of Gigagray

A Gigagray (GGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billion grays (10^9 Gy). It measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a given mass of tissue. Gigagray is used in fields like radiobiology and radiation physics to quantify the effects of high-dose ionization, particularly in industrial and research applications. Understanding the Gigagray is crucial for ensuring safety and efficacy in processes that involve significant radiation exposure, such as radiation therapy or nuclear power generation.

Definition of Hectogray

A Hectogray (hGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one hundred grays (10^2 Gy). It quantifies the energy absorbed by a material, typically biological tissue, from ionizing radiation. The hectogray is often used in radiobiology and medical physics to measure dose levels in radiation therapy, ensuring precise control over treatment plans. By translating radiation exposure into hectograys, professionals can better assess the biological impact and optimize safety protocols in various medical and research scenarios.
