What does milligray/second measure?

Milligray per second quantifies the absorbed radiation dose rate, representing how quickly energy from ionizing radiation is deposited per kilogram per second.

When should I use femtogray/second units?

Femtogray per second units are used to measure very low radiation dose rates, such as environmental background radiation or ultra-sensitive biological experiments.

Is it difficult to convert between mGy/s and fGy/s?

No, this tool simplifies the process by applying the fixed conversion rate of 1 mGy/s = 10^12 fGy/s automatically.
