Convert Microsievert to Microgray
Type the number of microsieverts that you wish to convert to micrograys.
How to Convert Microsieverts to Micrograys
The microsievert and microgray are both units of radiation dose. By definition, 1 microsievert equals exactly 1 micrograys. This means to convert microsieverts to micrograys, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μSv to micrograys:
We need to convert microsieverts to micrograys
Since 1 μSv = 1 μGy, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 μSv = 5 μGy

About These Units
Microsievert (μSv)
A microsievert (μSv) equals 0.001 mSv or 0.1 mrem. Common exposures: dental X-ray ~5 μSv, chest X-ray 20 μSv, transatlantic flight 40-80 μSv, banana (K-40) 0.1 μSv. Most radiation meters display μSv/h for environmental monitoring.
Microgray (μGy)
A microgray (μGy) equals 0.001 mGy or 0.1 mrad. Chest X-ray: ~20 μGy. Panoramic dental X-ray: 10-20 μGy. Used for specifying doses from diagnostic imaging with minimal exposure. One gray = one million micrograys.
