What are Picogray and Megagray

Definition of Picogray

A picogray is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, used within the International System of Units (SI). It represents an extremely small fraction of a gray, specifically one trillionth (10^-12) of a gray. The gray is the SI unit for absorbed dose and is used to measure the amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed by a substance. In radiation physics and radiological protection, understanding and utilizing such small units like picogray is essential for precision, especially when dealing with low-level radiation exposures in scientific and medical applications.

Definition of Megagray

A megagray is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), signifying one million (10^6) grays. The gray itself is the SI unit that measures the amount of radiation energy absorbed by a substance. Megagrays are typically used in contexts where large amounts of radiation are involved, such as in certain industrial applications or radiation therapy in medical treatments. Understanding megagray is crucial for fields requiring precise dosimetry to ensure both safety and effectiveness in radiation application.

Conversion of Picogray to Megagray

1 pGy/s = 1 x 10^-18 MGy/s
1 MGy/s = 1 x 10^18 pGy/s

Example 1:
convert 500 pGy/s to MGy/s:
500 pGy/s = 500 x 1 x 10^-18 MGy/s = 5 x 10^-16 MGy/s

Example 2:
convert 2,000 pGy/s to MGy/s:
2,000 pGy/s = 2,000 x 1 x 10^-18 MGy/s = 2 x 10^-15 MGy/s

History of Picogray and Megagray
