A member asked:
What is the formula for converting radiation received during test from ugym2 units to msv units? where can i find it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UGy-m^2, not uGYM2: Your abbreviation is confusing. You are actually asking for the conversion between uGy-m^2 (microGray - square meter), which is a measure of radiation dose-area product (DAP), to mSv (milliSieverts) which is a measure of the biological absorption. We need to know what was radiated (bone? head? breast?) to estimate the conversion. See the following website: http://www.sprawls.org/resources/RADQU/
