Converting from Centigray (cGy) to Dekagray (daGy)

What is Centigray (cGy)

Centigray (cGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray (Gy). It is commonly used in medical and radiation therapy to measure the amount of absorbed radiation by human tissues.

What is Dekagray (daGy)

Dekagray (daGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equal to ten gray (Gy). It is used in various applications to measure high levels of radiation exposure, such as industrial settings or radiation sterilization processes.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between centigray (cGy) and dekagray (daGy) is as follows:

• 1 cGy = 0.001 daGy
• 1 daGy = 1000 cGy

For other conversions, you can use the following examples:

• 11 cGy = 0.011 daGy
• 11 daGy = 11000 cGy
• 9 cGy = 0.009 daGy
• 9 daGy = 9000 cGy
• 13 cGy = 0.013 daGy
• 13 daGy = 13000 cGy

cGy=daGy×0.001

daGy=cGy×1000

Examples

1. Convert 15 cGy to daGy:

15cGy=15×0.001=0.015daGy

2. Convert 3 daGy to cGy:

3daGy=3×1000=3000cGy
