What are Petagray and Centigray

Definition of Petagray

Petagray (Pg) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) grays. It is a measure used primarily in high-energy physics and medicine to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed by a material. The petagray unit enables scientists and professionals to express large doses of radiation, often encountered in fields like radiation therapy and nuclear physics, with precision and clarity.

Definition of Centigray

Centigray (cg) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation, specifically used in the field of radiotherapy. It is equal to one-hundredth of a gray, the SI unit for absorbed dose. The centigray is a significant unit because it allows for precise measurement and administration of radiation doses to patients, ensuring effective treatment while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The use of centigray enables healthcare professionals to accurately tailor and control radiation therapy for optimal patient outcomes.
