Converting from Rad (rd) to Decigray (dGy) | Radiation

What is Rad (rd)

Rad (rd) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It measures the amount of energy absorbed per unit mass of tissue.

What is Decigray (dGy)

Decigray (dGy) is also a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It is a subunit of the Gray (Gy) and is equal to one-tenth of a Gray.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Rad (rd) and Decigray (dGy) is as follows:

• 1 (rd) = 0.1 (dGy)
• 1 (dGy) = 10 (rd)

Other conversions include:

• 13 (rd) = 1.3 (dGy)
• 13 (dGy) = 130 (rd)
• 5 (rd) = 0.5 (dGy)
• 5 (dGy) = 50 (rd)
• 8 (rd) = 0.8 (dGy)
• 8 (dGy) = 80 (rd)

Conversion formula:

Decigray (dGy) = Rad (rd) \times0.1

Rad (rd) = Decigray (dGy) \times10

Examples

1. Convert 10 Rad (rd) to Decigray (dGy):

   • 10 rd×0.1=1 dGy

2. Convert 25 Decigray (dGy) to Rad (rd):

   • 25 dGy×10=250 rd

3. Convert 4 Rad (rd) to Decigray (dGy):

   • 4 rd×0.1=0.4 dGy

Use this conversion when working with radiation-related measurements to ensure accurate and standardized results.
