What is the relationship between picogray and attogray?

One picogray (pGy) equals one million attogray (aGy), representing a conversion factor of 1,000,000 between these extremely small absorbed dose units.

In which fields is converting pGy to aGy most useful?

Conversions are especially helpful in radiation physics, nanoscale dosimetry, environmental radiation studies, space instrumentation, and microelectronics reliability research.

Are these unit conversions suitable for everyday radiation dose measurements?

No, the conversion between picogray and attogray is generally applied in advanced scientific contexts rather than routine radiation monitoring.
