Converting from Dekagray (daGy) to Microsievert (µSv) in Radiation

What is Dekagray (daGy)

Dekagray (daGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It measures the energy imparted by ionizing radiation per unit mass of the absorbing material.

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit of equivalent dose of ionizing radiation. It quantifies the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue.
