What are Gray and Joule/milligram

Definition of Gray

Gray, abbreviated as Gy, is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose and is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. It measures the energy imparted by ionizing radiation to a unit mass of tissue and is a crucial quantity in radiology and radiotherapy. Gray serves as a fundamental unit in understanding the biological effects of radiation, aiding in the precise calculation of doses required for effective treatment while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Developed to standardize radiation measurements, Gray plays a vital role in ensuring safety and efficacy in medical and industrial applications.

Definition of Joule/milligram

Joule/milligram, denoted as J/mg, represents the energy absorbed per milligram of substance when exposed to ionizing radiation. It’s a valuable unit in radiological science that quantifies the dose received by a material, helping in the evaluation of radiation effects on various substances. This unit is particularly useful in contexts where precise dosimetric calculations are necessary, such as in radiotherapy, to ensure accurate energy delivery to tumor sites while sparing surrounding healthy tissues. By measuring energy absorption on such a minute scale, Joule/milligram enables detailed analysis and optimization of radiation treatments in experimental and clinical settings.

Gray to Joule/milligram Conversion Table

Gray (Gy) Joule/milligram (J/mg)
0.01 Gy 10 J/mg
0.1 Gy 100 J/mg
0.5 Gy 500 J/mg
1 Gy 1000 J/mg
2 Gy 2000 J/mg
5 Gy 5000 J/mg
10 Gy 10000 J/mg
20 Gy 20000 J/mg
50 Gy 50000 J/mg
100 Gy 100000 J/mg

Conversion of Gray to Joule/milligram

1 Gy = 1000 J/mg
1 J/mg = 0.001 Gy

Example 1:
convert 5 Gy to J/mg:
5 Gy = 5 × 1000 J/mg = 5000 J/mg

Example 2:
convert 3.5 Gy to J/mg:
3.5 Gy = 3.5 × 1000 J/mg = 3500 J/mg
