About Grays per minute
The gray per minute (Gy/min) is the primary clinical radiotherapy machine output unit. Standard linac dose rates are 1-6 Gy/min at isocentre; stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) uses up to 10 Gy/min; ¹⁹²Ir HDR brachytherapy sources are characterised in Gy/min at 1 cm reference distance. 1 Gy/min = 100 rad/min ≈ 1.67×10⁻² Gy/s.
About Grays per second
The gray per second (Gy/s) is the SI coherent unit of absorbed dose rate, equal to 1 joule per kilogram per second, dimensionally equivalent to W/kg or m²/s³. Used in HDR brachytherapy source strength, FLASH radiotherapy research (>40 Gy/s for normal tissue sparing), and particle accelerator beam-loss dosimetry. 1 Gy/s = 60 Gy/min = 3600 Gy/h = 100 rad/s.
