Centigray is a radiation absorbed dose measurement unit. A centigray (cGy) is a derived metric (SI) measurement unit of absorbed radiation dose of ionizing radiation, e.g. X-rays. The SI prefix centi stands for one hunfredths.
Gamma rays, denoted by the lower-case Greek letter gamma, are penetrating electromagnetic radiation of a kind arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of photons in the highest observed range of photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays. Rutherford had previously discovered two other types of radioactive decay, which
