What does 1 centigray represent?

1 centigray equals one hundredth of a gray and measures the energy deposited by radiation per kilogram of material.

When is teragray used?

Teragray quantifies extremely large absorbed doses, typically in high-energy physics, nuclear accident modeling, and astrophysical simulations.

Is this conversion practical for routine medical doses?

No, due to the vast scale difference, teragray values from typical medical doses are extremely small and mainly theoretical.
