What are Microgray and Milligray

Definition of Microgray

A Microgray (µGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one-millionth of a gray. It quantifies the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed per unit mass of a material, typically used in medical and environmental contexts. The microgray helps in assessing radiation exposure levels, thereby aiding in the evaluation of potential biological effects. It is crucial in fields such as radiology, radiotherapy, and environmental monitoring, where precise measurements of radiation doses are necessary to ensure safety and efficacy.

Definition of Milligray

A Milligray (mGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one-thousandth of a gray. It measures the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by a material per unit mass, commonly applied in medical and industrial domains. The milligray is significant in radiology, radiotherapy, and radiation protection, where accurate dose assessments are vital for patient safety and treatment effectiveness. By quantifying the radiation dose, it helps professionals ensure that exposure levels remain within safe limits, thus minimizing potential harm while maximizing therapeutic outcomes.
