What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms values from decigray (dGy) to milligray (mGy), both units measuring absorbed ionizing radiation dose. It helps users convert radiotherapy and diagnostic radiation dose measurements into appropriate scales.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the radiation dose value in decigray (dGy).
  • Select decigray as the input unit and milligray (mGy) as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent dose in milligray.

Key Features

  • Converts decigray values to milligray accurately based on a fixed conversion rate.
  • Supports radiation dose measurement units used in medical and occupational settings.
  • Provides quick results suitable for radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, and radiation protection applications.

Examples

  • Conversion of 2 dGy results in 200 mGy.
  • Conversion of 0.5 dGy results in 50 mGy.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating radiotherapy fraction doses into smaller units for precise treatment planning.
  • Calibrating therapy dosimeters and beam output in medical radiation environments.
  • Monitoring radiation doses during diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology procedures.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure dosimeter calibration is accurate for reliable conversion results.
  • Use conversions to enhance precision when working with intermediate absorbed dose values.
  • Remember that conversion shows absorbed energy and does not reflect biological effects of radiation.

Limitations

  • Accuracy depends on dosimeter calibration and environmental influences.
  • The conversion assumes linear dose scaling which may not correspond to biological effect changes.
  • This tool only converts units of absorbed dose, not accounting for differing biological impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the conversion rate between decigray and milligray?
One decigray (dGy) equals one hundred milligray (mGy).

In which fields is converting dGy to mGy commonly applied?
It is commonly used in radiotherapy dose planning, diagnostic imaging, radiation protection, and dosimeter calibration.

Does this conversion measure biological effects of radiation?
No, this conversion only accounts for absorbed radiation energy, not biological effectiveness.

Key Terminology

Decigray (dGy)
An SI-derived unit of absorbed ionizing radiation dose equal to one tenth of a gray.
Milligray (mGy)
One thousandth of a gray, representing absorbed radiation dose as energy per unit mass.
Gray (Gy)
The SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, quantifying energy deposited by radiation per kilogram.
