About These Units
Microroentgen (μR)
A microroentgen (μR) equals 0.001 mR. Used in environmental radiation monitoring, radon measurements, and low-level contamination surveys. Natural background: 10-20 μR/h typical. Sensitive ion chambers measure in μR/h.
Centigray (cGy)
A centigray (cGy) equals 0.01 gray and exactly equals 1 rad. Standard unit in radiation oncology. Typical fraction: 180-200 cGy/day. Total treatment: 4,000-8,000 cGy. Prostate: 7,000-8,000 cGy. Breast: 5,000-6,000 cGy.
