What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert radiation absorbed dose units from centigray (cGy) to milligray (mGy). It is designed for professionals and students in medical physics, radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, and radiation protection who need to translate dose measurements between these two units effectively.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value measured in centigray (cGy).
- Select centigray as the input unit and milligray as the output unit.
- Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent radiation absorbed dose in milligray (mGy).
Key Features
- Converts radiation absorbed dose from centigray to milligray accurately.
- Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
- Supports applications in medical physics, radiotherapy, and diagnostic imaging.
- Helps in dose reporting, calibration, and safety monitoring.
Examples
- 5 cGy equals 50 mGy.
- 0.2 cGy equals 2 mGy.
Common Use Cases
- Translating radiation doses from therapeutic settings where centigray is common into diagnostic imaging or protection contexts that use milligray.
- Reporting doses in external beam radiotherapy and nuclear medicine treatment plans.
- Calibrating radiation detectors and verifying dosimeter readings for safety.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure you know the context and clinical purpose when converting doses since cGy and mGy are used for different applications.
- Use the conversion for dose reporting, calibration, and monitoring in radiation protection and medical physics.
- Always double-check units to avoid dosing errors in patient care.
Limitations
- Although conversion is straightforward and linear, users must be cautious interpreting doses as centigray and milligray serve different clinical and safety roles.
- Incorrect unit usage may lead to errors in radiation dose assessment or reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does centigray measure?
- Centigray measures absorbed ionizing radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray, quantifying energy deposited by radiation per unit mass.
- Why convert centigray to milligray?
- Converting helps translate radiation doses used in therapeutic contexts (cGy) to diagnostic or protective contexts (mGy) for accurate dose reporting and safety.
- Is the conversion between cGy and mGy linear?
- Yes, the conversion is linear: 1 centigray equals 10 milligray.
Key Terminology
- Centigray [cGy]
- A unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray; measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass.
- Milligray [mGy]
- A unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a gray; quantifies the radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of material.
- Gray [Gy]
- The SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, defined as one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter.
