What does kilogram per cubic meter measure?

Kilogram per cubic meter measures mass density, representing how much mass exists within one cubic meter of volume.

Why is milligram per cubic centimeter used in medical imaging?

Milligram per cubic centimeter is preferred in medical imaging, such as quantitative CT, because it provides practical unit scales for bone density and material analysis.

Can I convert values directly between these two units without formulas?

Yes, the conversion is straightforward since 1 kilogram per cubic meter equals exactly 1 milligram per cubic centimeter.
