Converting from Decigray (dGy) to Hectogray (hGy) | Radiation

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray, denoted as dGy, is a unit of measurement in the field of radiation that represents one-tenth of a gray (Gy). Gray is the SI unit of absorbed dose of radiation, and decigray is a smaller unit used for more precise measurements.

What is Hectogray (hGy)

Hectogray, represented as hGy, is another unit of measurement in the radiation category. It is equal to one hundred grays, making it a larger unit compared to decigray. Hectogray is often used in situations where a higher dose of radiation needs to be measured.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from decigray (dGy) to hectogray (hGy), you can use the following formulas:

1. To convert from decigray to hectogray: hGy=dGy×0.001

2. To convert from hectogray to decigray: dGy=hGy×1000

Examples

Here are some common conversions between decigray and hectogray:

• 11 dGy = 0.011 hGy
• 11 hGy = 11000 dGy
• 4 dGy = 0.004 hGy
• 4 hGy = 4000 dGy
• 5 dGy = 0.005 hGy
• 5 hGy = 5000 dGy

Use these conversions to accurately perform calculations when dealing with radiation measurements.
