Converting from Microgray (µGy) to Decigray (dGy) | Radiation

What is Microgray (µGy)

1 Microgray (µGy) is a unit of measurement used in radiation to quantify the amount of absorbed ionizing radiation energy in human tissue. It is equal to one millionth of a gray.

What is Decigray (dGy)

1 Decigray (dGy) is also a unit of measurement in radiation, representing one-tenth of a gray. It is commonly used in radiation therapy to measure the amount of energy deposited per unit mass of tissue.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Microgray to Decigray, you can use the following formula:

Decigray (dGy)=Microgray (µGy)×0.00001

To convert from Decigray to Microgray, use:

Microgray (µGy)=Decigray (dGy)×100000

Examples

1. Converting 3 µGy to dGy:

3 µGy=3×0.00001=0.00003 dGy

2. Converting 7 dGy to µGy:

7 dGy=7×100000=700000 µGy

3. Similarly, converting 5 µGy to dGy gives 0.00005 dGy, and converting 5 dGy to µGy results in 500000 µGy.

Use this information to easily perform conversions between Microgray (µGy) and Decigray (dGy) in radiation measurements.
