Gy, also known as the gray or grey, is a unit of measurement used in radiation physics and dosimetry to quantify the amount of absorbed radiation energy. The term "gy" is an abbreviation for "gray," which is the official name of the unit.
The gray (Gy) is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter. It is a metric unit and widely used in scientific, medical, and industrial fields to quantify radiation dose. This unit is used to measure the amount of energy deposited in a specific material by any type of ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, or particles emitted by radioactive sources.
The gray is a fundamental quantity in radiation protection and radiation therapy. It helps to assess and monitor radiation doses received by individuals, patients undergoing medical treatments, and workers in radiation-exposed environments. For instance, in radiotherapy, the gray value is used to determine the radiation dose delivered to a target tissue or tumor, assisting in planning the treatment process.
The gray unit provides a standardized and measurable way to understand radiation absorption and its potential effects on biological systems. It is essential for ensuring proper radiation safety, optimization of treatment procedures, and accurate dose calculations in various radiation applications.
