Converting from Megagray (MGy) to Dekagray (daGy) | Radiation

What is Megagray (MGy)

Megagray (MGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, where one Megagray is equivalent to 1,000,000 gray. It is commonly used in the field of radiation therapy to measure the amount of absorbed radiation by a particular material.

What is Dekagray (daGy)

Dekagray (daGy) is also a unit of absorbed radiation dose, but on a smaller scale compared to Megagray. One Dekagray is equal to 0.1 gray. It is utilized in various radiation-related applications to quantify the impact of radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

The standard conversion between Megagray (MGy) and Dekagray (daGy) is as follows:

• 1 (MGy) = 100,000 (daGy)
• 1 (daGy) = 0.00001 (MGy)

Examples

1. Converting 8 Megagrays (MGy) to Dekagrays (daGy):

8MGy=8×100,000=800,000daGy

2. Converting 12 Dekagrays (daGy) to Megagrays (MGy):

12daGy=12×0.00001=0.00012MGy

3. Converting 6 Megagrays (MGy) to Dekagrays (daGy):

6MGy=6×100,000=600,000daGy

By utilizing these conversion formulas, accurate transformations between Megagray (MGy) and Dekagray (daGy) units can be easily achieved, facilitating precise measurements in radiation applications.
