Converting Millisievert (mSv) to Decigray (dGy) in Radiation

What is Millisievert (mSv)

Millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by human tissues. It is commonly used to assess the potential biological effects of exposure to radiation.

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is a unit of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It represents the energy deposited by radiation per unit mass of the exposed material.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Millisievert (mSv) and Decigray (dGy) is as follows:

• 1(mSv)=0.01(dGy)

• 1(dGy)=100(mSv)

Examples

• 4 (mSv) = 0.04 (dGy)
• 4 (dGy) = 400 (mSv)
• 7 (mSv) = 0.07 (dGy)
• 7 (dGy) = 700 (mSv)
• 11 (mSv) = 0.11 (dGy)
• 11 (dGy) = 1100 (mSv)

Use these examples as a reference when converting between Millisievert and Decigray. Remember, understanding these conversion rates can be crucial in fields where accurate measurement of radiation exposure is paramount.
