What are Teragray and Joule/milligram

Definition of Teragray

A Teragray (TGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose used in the field of radiology and radiation therapy. It is equivalent to one trillion grays and measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a specific mass of material. The term 'Gray' itself is a unit of energy absorption per kilogram of tissue and is named after the British physicist Louis Harold Gray. Teragray is a convenient unit when dealing with very high doses of radiation, as it simplifies the expression of large values. This unit is crucial in medical applications to ensure accurate dosimetry and treatment planning.

Definition of Joule/milligram

Joule per milligram (J/mg) is a unit of energy density that indicates the amount of energy in joules absorbed by one milligram of a substance. This measurement is essential in fields such as material science and chemistry, where understanding energy distribution within small quantities of material is vital. The joule, named after James Prescott Joule, is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. When used in conjunction with milligrams, it provides a precise measure of how energy interacts with materials at a micro-level, aiding in the analysis of chemical reactions and energy transformations.

Conversion of Teragray to Joule/milligram

1 TGy = 1,000,000 J/mg
1 J/mg = 0.000001 TGy

Example 1:
convert 5 TGy to J/mg:
5 TGy = 5 × 1,000,000 J/mg = 5,000,000 J/mg

Example 2:
convert 3.5 TGy to J/mg:
3.5 TGy = 3.5 × 1,000,000 J/mg = 3,500,000 J/mg
