What is the conversion rate from milligray to femtogray?

One milligray equals one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) femtograys.

Where is femtogray unit primarily used?

Femtogray is mainly used in microdosimetry, radiobiology experiments, and ultra-sensitive detector calibrations measuring very small energy depositions.

Can this conversion be used for routine clinical dose reporting?

No, femtograys are not practical for routine clinical dose reporting as they measure extremely small energy depositions at microscopic scales.
