What does 1 dekagray equal in microgray?

1 dekagray is equal to 10,000,000 microgray.

When should I use dekagray instead of microgray?

Dekagray is used for higher radiation dose levels such as in radiotherapy or industrial processes, while microgray is used for very low radiation levels like environmental monitoring.

Why is it important to convert between dekagray and microgray units?

Converting between these units allows accurate communication and comparison of radiation doses across different contexts, from high-dose medical treatments to sensitive environmental measurements.
