Converting from Decigray (dGy) to Nanosievert (nSv) | Radiation

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It is equal to one-tenth of a gray (Gy), with 1 Gy being equivalent to 100 decigrays.

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of equivalent dose of radiation. It is one billionth of a sievert (Sv), with 1 Sv being equal to 1000 millisieverts or 1,000,000 microsieverts.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from decigrays to nanosieverts, you can use the following formula:

Nanosieverts (nSv)=Decigrays (dGy)×100000000

• To convert from nanosieverts to decigrays, you can use the formula:

Decigrays (dGy)=Nanosieverts (nSv)×0.00000001

Examples

1. Convert 9 dGy to nSv

9 dGy=9×100000000=900000000 nSv

2. Convert 12 nSv to dGy

12 nSv=12×0.00000001=0.00000012 dGy

3. Convert 10 dGy to nSv

10 dGy=10×100000000=1000000000 nSv

By using the conversion formulas provided above, you can easily perform conversions between decigray and nanosievert units for radiation measurements.
