What does one joule per kilogram represent in radiation dosimetry?

It represents the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass, equivalent to one gray, used to assess radiation dose.

Why convert joule per kilogram to femtogray?

To measure and analyze very small absorbed radiation doses at microscopic or cellular scales important in advanced research.

Can standard dosimeters measure doses in femtograys accurately?

No, femtogram measurements require ultra-sensitive detectors and special instrumentation for accurate detection.
