Converting from Decigray (dGy) to Gray (Gy) | Radiation

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose defined as one-tenth of a gray (Gy). It is commonly used in the field of radiation to measure the amount of energy absorbed by a medium.

What is Gray (Gy)

Gray (Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing the amount of energy absorbed per unit mass of the target material. One gray is equivalent to 100 rads.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between decigray (dGy) and gray (Gy) follows a simple relationship:

1(dGy)=0.1(Gy)

1(Gy)=10(dGy)

Examples

• 17 (dGy) = 1.7 (Gy)
• 17 (Gy) = 170 (dGy)
• 15 (dGy) = 1.5 (Gy)
• 15 (Gy) = 150 (dGy)
• 2 (dGy) = 0.2 (Gy)
• 2 (Gy) = 20 (dGy)

This conversion is crucial in radiation-related fields to ensure accurate measurements and assessments of absorbed doses. Remember these conversions to easily switch between decigray and gray units in your calculations.
