What does joule per centigram measure?

Joule per centigram quantifies absorbed radiation dose as energy deposited in joules per 0.01 gram of material.

Why use megagray for absorbed radiation dose?

Megagray is used to express extremely large absorbed doses relevant to severe radiation-damage and high-energy applications.

Can this converter be used for medical radiation doses?

No, this converter is intended for very high radiation dose values and is not suitable for typical medical or environmental dose measurements.
