What does joule per centigram measure?

It measures absorbed radiation dose as energy in joules deposited per 0.01 gram of material, representing very large energy depositions per small mass.

When is femtogray used?

Femtogray quantifies extremely small absorbed doses, useful in microdosimetry and radiation effects at microscopic or cellular scales.

Why convert from J/cg to fGy?

This conversion translates large absorbed dose measurements into ultra-fine units suitable for detailed radiation effect analysis and calibration in specialized fields.
