Converting from Decigray (dGy) to Milligray (mGy) | Radiation

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is a unit of measurement used in the field of radiation to quantify absorbed dose. It is equal to one-tenth of a gray (Gy), with 1 decigray being equivalent to 100 milligrays.

What is Milligray (mGy)

Milligray (mGy) is another unit of absorbed dose in the radiation category. It is equal to one-thousandth of a gray (Gy) and is commonly used to measure smaller amounts of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between decigray (dGy) and milligray (mGy) is straightforward and follows a simple relationship:

• To convert from decigray to milligray: mGy=dGy×100

• To convert from milligray to decigray: dGy=mGy×0.01

Examples

1. Converting from decigray to milligray:

   • 8 (dGy) = 8 * 100 = 800 (mGy)
   • 13 (dGy) = 13 * 100 = 1300 (mGy)
   • 2 (dGy) = 2 * 100 = 200 (mGy)

2. Converting from milligray to decigray:

   • 8 (mGy) = 8 * 0.01 = 0.08 (dGy)
   • 13 (mGy) = 13 * 0.01 = 0.13 (dGy)
   • 2 (mGy) = 2 * 0.01 = 0.02 (dGy)
