What is the conversion factor from dekagray to decigray?

One dekagray equals 100 decigray, enabling conversion of larger dose measurements to finer units.

When should I use decigray instead of dekagray?

Decigray is used when finer granularity is needed, such as for dose fractions or quality assurance in radiotherapy.

Are dekagray and decigray commonly used in radiation protection?

Yes, both units are used to express absorbed doses in radiation protection and accident assessments.

Key Terminology

Dekagray (daGy): A metric unit for absorbed radiation dose equal to 10 grays, commonly used for expressing large dose amounts.
Decigray (dGy): An SI-derived unit equal to one tenth of a gray, used for finer dose increments in clinical and quality-assurance settings.
Gray (Gy): The SI unit measuring energy deposited by ionizing radiation per kilogram of matter, where 1 Gy equals 1 joule per kilogram.
