About these units
Microgray (µGy)
- Definition
- A microgray (µGy) is one millionth of a gray.
- History
- A metric sub-multiple for very low dose measurements.
- Current use
- Background radiation levels and some occupational dose monitoring use microgray.
Centigray (cGy)
- Definition
- A centigray (cGy) is one hundredth of a gray, numerically equal to one rad.
- History
- It was introduced to provide continuity with the older rad unit.
- Current use
- Radiation oncologists commonly prescribe doses in cGy because it matches the familiar rad scale.
