Converting from Rad (rd) to Dekagray (daGy) | Radiation

What is Rad (rd)

The rad (rd) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It measures the amount of energy transferred to matter by ionizing radiation per unit mass. One rad is equal to 0.01 joules per kilogram.

What is Dekagray (daGy)

The dekagray (daGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass. One dekagray is equal to 10 grays.
