The interstellar γ radiation traces the total gas and cosmic-ray distributions throughout the Galactic disc. Because the bulk of the cosmic-ray density is found to fall gradually, but little, from the Galactic center to the periphery, there exists an obvious correlation between the EGRET skymap above 100 MeV and the HI and CO maps. It has been used to measure the N(H2)/W(CO) conversion factor in nearby molecular clouds and for the entire Galaxy.
