About Converting Microsieverts to Centisieverts
Microsievert and Centisievert both belong to the radiation-measurement family, though radiation quantities fall into genuinely distinct categories: absorbed dose (gray, rad) measures energy deposited in matter, equivalent dose (sievert, rem) weights that for biological harm, and activity (becquerel, curie) measures how often a radioactive source decays — this page only converts between units of the same kind. Specifically: Microsievert is 0.000001 sievert units, and centisievert is 0.01 sievert units.
Formula
centisieverts = microsieverts × 0.0001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microsievert equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 centisievert equals 0.01 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microsievert-to-centisievert factor of 0.0001.
Simple example
1 uSv × 0.0001 = 0.0001 cSv
1 microsievert = 0.0001 centisieverts.
Real-world example
10 uSv × 0.0001 = 0.001 cSv
10 microsieverts = 0.001 centisieverts.

Reverse conversion: Centisievert to Microsievert
0.0001 cSv × 10000 = 1 uSv
0.0001 centisieverts = 1 microsieverts.
microsieverts = centisieverts × 10000

Frequently asked questions
How many centisieverts are in 1 microsievert?
1 microsievert equals 0.0001 centisieverts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microsievert to centisievert?
Multiply the microsievert value by 0.0001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centisievert back to microsievert?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centisievert equals 10,000 microsieverts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microsievert?
Microsievert (uSv) is a unit of radiation.
What is a centisievert?
Centisievert (cSv) is a unit of radiation.
Is the microsievert to centisievert conversion exact?
Yes. Both microsievert and centisievert are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0001 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and activity?
Absorbed dose (gray, rad) measures the energy radiation deposits in matter. Equivalent dose (sievert, rem) adjusts that figure for how harmful different types of radiation are to biological tissue. Activity (becquerel, curie) measures how often a radioactive source decays, independent of how much dose a person actually receives from it.
