What does 1 milligray represent in joule/kilogram?

1 milligray (mGy) equals 0.001 joule per kilogram (J/kg), reflecting the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass.

Why convert milligray to joule per kilogram?

Converting milligray to joule per kilogram helps standardize radiation dose measurements for medical reporting, therapy planning, and regulatory compliance.

Can this tool be used for clinical radiation dose calculations?

This tool aids in unit conversion for radiation absorbed dose but should be used alongside professional dosimetry methods and protocols.
