What does joule per milligram (J/mg) represent?

It represents the energy deposited in joules absorbed by one milligram of material, used to quantify radiation absorbed dose for small sample masses.

How is joule per centigram (J/cg) related to gray (Gy)?

Joule per centigram is an energy-per-mass unit equivalent to 100,000 gray, with 1 gray defined as 1 joule per kilogram.

Why convert from J/mg to J/cg?

Converting from J/mg to J/cg allows expressing the absorbed dose at a mass scale ten times larger for easier comparison and communication in relevant experiments.
