What are Gray and Femtogray

Definition of Gray

Gray, symbolized as Gy, is a unit of absorbed dose in the International System of Units (SI) used to measure the amount of radiation energy absorbed by a substance. It is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. Named after the British physicist Louis Harold Gray, this unit plays a critical role in radiation therapy, radiology, and nuclear physics, helping professionals assess the effects of radiation on biological tissue and materials. The use of Gray ensures standardized measurement in scientific and medical applications.

Definition of Femtogray

Femtogray, denoted as fGy, is a submultiple of the Gray unit, representing a much smaller quantity of absorbed radiation dose. It is equivalent to 10^-15 Grays, making it useful in scenarios where radiation levels are extremely low, such as in certain research applications or environments with minuscule radiation exposure. This unit allows for precise measurements in delicate experiments where even tiny amounts of radiation can have significant effects. By using femtogray, scientists and researchers can achieve greater accuracy in their observations and data analysis, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and molecular biology.
