gray [Gy]
Definition: The SI unit for measuring the absorbed radiation dose, representing the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.
Historyandorigin: The gray replaced the rad in most scientific contexts to standardize radiation measurement internationally.
CurrentUse: The gray is the most widely used unit for radiation dose measurements in medicine, radiation protection, and scientific research.
funfact: The gray is a crucial unit in radiation therapy, ensuring the correct dosage of radiation is applied to cancer cells during treatment!
kilogray [kGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 10^3 grays.
Historyandorigin: The kilogray is used to measure significant doses of radiation, typically in fields like radiation therapy and industrial applications.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in radiation therapy and medical fields to calculate the dose delivered to patients.
funfact: Kilograys are critical in radiotherapy, where precise doses of radiation can be applied to treat tumors!

How to Convert gray to kilogray
1 gray [Gy] = 0.001 kilogray [kGy]
1 kilogray [kGy] = 1000 gray [Gy]
we use cross multiplication method
gray [Gy] → kilogray [kGy]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
