How is femtogray per second different from picogray per second?

A femtogray per second represents an absorbed dose rate equal to 10⁻¹⁵ grays per second, which is a thousand times smaller than one picogray per second.

Why convert from picogray/second to femtogray/second?

Converting to femtogray per second allows for analysis of even smaller radiation dose rates, which is vital for ultra-sensitive detection and precise scientific monitoring.
