What are Teragray and Picogray

Definition of Teragray

A Teragray (TGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose absorbed by a material, equivalent to one trillion grays. It represents a massive amount of energy transfer, primarily used in scientific and industrial applications requiring high-dose radiation levels. The term 'gray' is named after Louis Harold Gray, a British physicist who made significant contributions to the field of radiation dosimetry. Teragray measurements are crucial in contexts such as nuclear physics and radiation therapy, where understanding and controlling radiation levels are paramount for safety and effectiveness.

Definition of Picogray

A Picogray (pGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose absorbed by a material, equivalent to one trillionth of a gray. It represents a minuscule amount of energy transfer, often used in precise scientific measurements and low-dose radiation scenarios. The gray, the fundamental unit, is named after Louis Harold Gray, who significantly advanced the study of radiation dosimetry. Picogray measurements are essential in areas where precise, low-dose radiation assessments are critical, such as environmental monitoring and radiological research, ensuring safety and accuracy in radiation exposure evaluations.
