What does milligray per second (mGy/s) measure?

Milligray per second (mGy/s) quantifies the absorbed radiation dose rate, representing how quickly ionizing radiation energy is deposited in a material per unit mass and time.

Why convert dose rates from mGy/s to Gy/s?

Converting to gray per second (Gy/s) standardizes absorbed dose rate measurements in the SI unit, which is important for accuracy in medical therapy, radiation protection, and industrial applications.

Are there any factors affecting the accuracy of these conversions?

Yes, instrument calibration differences, environmental factors, and assumptions about uniform energy deposition can influence measurement interpretation when converting between these units.
