What Is This Tool?

This tool converts absorbed radiation dose values from femtogray (fGy) to centigray (cGy), helping relate microscopic-scale radiation measurements to clinically relevant dose units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the absorbed dose value in femtogray (fGy)
  • Select femtogray as the source unit and centigray as the target unit
  • Execute the conversion to see the equivalent dose in centigray (cGy)

Key Features

  • Converts radiation absorbed dose units from femtogray to centigray
  • Based on precise conversion rates relevant to radiobiology and medical physics
  • Supports applications in microdosimetry, radiation detector calibration, and treatment planning

Examples

  • 10 fGy converts to 1e-12 cGy
  • 100 fGy converts to 1e-11 cGy

Common Use Cases

  • Microdosimetry studies measuring energy depositions in single cells or subcellular volumes
  • Calibration and characterization of ultra-sensitive radiation detection equipment
  • Medical physics for planning and verifying therapeutic radiation doses

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the dose values are within measurable ranges for the intended unit
  • Use this conversion to relate ultra-small scale doses to clinically meaningful units
  • Account for potential measurement uncertainties due to instrument sensitivity and background radiation

Limitations

  • Femtogray values often fall below clinical detection capabilities, making measurement challenging
  • Converted values may be too small for standard medical instruments to measure accurately
  • Careful interpretation is required due to background radiation and sensitivity factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 femtogray represent?
One femtogray equals 10^-15 joules of radiation energy deposited per kilogram of matter, representing extremely small absorbed doses.

Why convert femtogray to centigray?
Conversion helps relate tiny-scale radiation depositions to more practical and clinically relevant dose units used in medical physics.

Are values in femtograys commonly measured in clinical settings?
No, femtograys represent doses often too small to detect accurately with standard clinical instruments.

Key Terminology

Femtogray (fGy)
A unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to 10^-15 gray, quantifying extremely small energy depositions.
Centigray (cGy)
A unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray, used commonly in medical dose measurements.
Gray (Gy)
The SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, defined as one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.
