A femtogray represents 10^-15 gray, quantifying extremely small ionizing radiation energy deposits per kilogram.

Why convert femtogray to microgray?

Converting to microgray translates tiny absorbed doses into a more practical unit for radiation monitoring and diagnostics.

Can all instruments detect femtograys accurately?

Some instruments may not detect doses at the femtogram scale due to sensitivity limits.
