What are Milligray and Microgray

Definition of Milligray

A milligray (mGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing one-thousandth of a gray (Gy), the SI unit for such measurements. It quantifies the amount of radiation energy absorbed by a material, especially biological tissue. Milligrays are commonly used in medical contexts, such as radiology and radiation therapy, where precise dosimetry is crucial for ensuring patient safety and effective treatment. The milligray allows for detailed and accurate measurement of low-level radiation exposures, essential in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings across various medical disciplines.

Definition of Microgray

A microgray (µGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing one-millionth of a gray (Gy), the SI unit for measuring radiation absorption. It allows for precise measurement of very low radiation doses, which is crucial in contexts such as environmental monitoring and occupational safety. The microgray is used in situations where minimal exposure levels are significant, helping to assess potential risks and ensure safety standards are met. This unit is particularly important for protecting sensitive biological systems and maintaining regulatory compliance in various fields.
