Why is megagray per second used only in extreme radiation scenarios?

Because megagray per second represents extremely high dose rates typically encountered in advanced physics experiments or nuclear events, it is not practical for most everyday radiation measurements.

How do I convert 1 MGy/s to mGy/s?

One megagray per second equals 1,000,000,000 milligray per second based on the defined conversion rate.

Is this converter suitable for medical dose rate measurements?

Yes, converting from MGy/s to mGy/s helps relate very high dose rates to levels more common in medical radiation therapy and protection.
