What does 1 megagray (MGy) represent in terms of gray (Gy)?

1 megagray equals one million grays, signifying an extremely large absorbed radiation dose.

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

Joule per centigram measures energy deposited per 0.01 gram mass and corresponds to 100,000 grays.

Why convert from MGy to J/cg for radiation dose assessments?

Converting to J/cg allows expressing large absorbed doses as energy per small mass, which is helpful in precise dosimetry and micro-scale evaluations.
