1 pGy = 0.000000000001 Gy

1 Gy = 1,000,000,000,000 pGy

Example: 1 pGy = 0.000000000001 Gy

One picogray is one trillionth of a gray (1.0E-12 grays).

History: SI prefix pico- applied to the gray.

Current use: Used in high-sensitivity physical experiments.

Also written as pGy.

Defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.

History: Named after Louis Harold Gray, a pioneer in the field of radiobiology. Adopted by the CGPM in 1975.

Current use: The primary international unit used in radiotherapy, radiation protection, and radiobiology.
