microgray to femtogray
Convert microgray (μGy) to femtogray (fGy). Use an editable absorbed dose converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μGy = 1,000,000,000 fGy
Conversion formula
One microgray equals 1,000,000,000 femtogray. Multiply your value in microgray by this factor to get femtogray. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microgray:5 × 1,000,000,000 = 5,000,000,000 fGy

About these measurements
Absorbed dose measures energy deposited per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the gray. One microgray is 0.000001 base units; one femtogray is 1e-15 base units.
Important distinctions
Physical unit conversion only. Biological effect requires additional information and professional assessment.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert μGy to fGy?
Multiply the quantity in μGy by 1,000,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the femtogray to microgray converter.
