What does attogray [aGy] measure?

Attogray (aGy) is a unit of radiation absorbed dose representing 10^-18 of a gray, used to express extremely small amounts of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per kilogram of matter.

When should I use picogray [pGy] instead of attogray?

Picogray (pGy) is suitable when quantifying low radiation doses on a slightly larger scale than attogray, often used in environmental monitoring, long-term studies, and calibrating sensitive detectors.

What is the conversion rate from attogray to picogray?

One attogray equals 0.000001 picogray (1 aGy = 0.000001 pGy).
