What are Megagray and Femtogray

Definition of Megagray

A Megagray (MGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the amount of radiation energy absorbed per unit mass of a material. Specifically, one Megagray equals one million grays, where one gray signifies the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. In scientific and medical fields, Megagray is crucial for calculating doses in radiation therapy and nuclear physics, ensuring accurate assessments of radiation exposure and its biological effects.

Definition of Femtogray

A Femtogray (fGy) is an extremely small unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). Equivalent to 10^-15 of a gray, the femtogray measures the minute energy absorbed per unit mass of matter. This unit is particularly useful in applications requiring high precision, such as nanotechnology and micro-dosimetry. By quantifying radiation exposure at such a small scale, scientists and engineers can better understand and manage the effects of radiation on biological tissue, electronic components, and other sensitive materials.
