Converting from Microsievert (µSv) to Decigray (dGy) | Radiation

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit used to measure the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by human tissues. It is commonly used in the field of radiation protection to quantify the biological effects of radiation exposure.

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of radiation in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of tissue. Decigray is often used in medical radiation therapy to calculate the radiation dose delivered to a patient.
