What does femtogray per second measure?

Femtogray per second measures extremely small absorbed radiation dose rates, representing how much energy from ionizing radiation is deposited per kilogram each second.

Why convert femtogray/second to centigray/second?

Converting from femtogray/second to centigray/second helps translate very low dose rates into units used in medical and industrial radiation contexts, making data more practical for those fields.

Can this conversion be used for clinical radiotherapy settings?

Yes, it supports calibration and measurement in medical physics, although it primarily bridges ultra-low environmental measurements to higher dose rate units relevant for clinical and industrial use.
