Conversion Formula
kGy = mGy × 1.000000000e-6
About Milligrays
The milligray (mGy) equals 10⁻³ Gy and is the standard unit for diagnostic radiology patient doses. CT head scan ~20-60 mGy; abdominal CT ~10-30 mGy; mammography mean glandular dose ~1-3 mGy. IAEA and EU medical exposure directives set diagnostic reference levels in mGy. 1 mGy = 10⁻³ Gy = 0.1 rad.
About Kilograys
The kilogray (kGy) equals 10³ Gy and is the standard unit for radiation processing. Food irradiation: 1-10 kGy for insect disinfestation and sprout inhibition; medical device sterilisation standard dose is 25 kGy (ISO 11137); polymer crosslinking and cable insulation curing use 50-200 kGy. 1 kGy = 10³ Gy = 10⁵ rad.
