Converting from Decigray (dGy) to Centigray (cGy) in Radiation

What is Decigray (dGy)

1(dGy) is a unit of measurement in the field of radiation that represents one-tenth of a gray ( 1Gy ). The decigray is commonly used to quantify the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a specific material.

What is Centigray (cGy)

1(cGy) is another unit of measurement in the realm of radiation, equivalent to one-hundredth of a gray ( 1Gy ). The centigray is often utilized in radiation therapy to measure the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation delivered to a patient.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between decigray ( dGy ) and centigray ( cGy ) can be achieved using the following formulas:

1. To convert from decigray to centigray: cGy=10×dGy

2. To convert from centigray to decigray: dGy=0.1×cGy

Examples

• 15dGy=15×10=150cGy

• 5cGy=5×0.1=0.5dGy

• 16dGy=16×10=160cGy
