What is the Difference Between Gray (Gy) and Sievert (Sv)?
Both Gray and Sievert (Sv) are units used in radiation measurement, but they serve different purposes. While Gray measures the absorbed dose of radiation (physical quantity), Sievert takes into account the biological effects of the radiation (biological equivalent dose). In other words, Sievert factors in the type of radiation and its impact on specific tissues, making it more relevant for assessing health risks.
