What does decigray per second (dGy/s) measure?

It measures the absorbed dose rate of ionizing radiation, representing one-tenth of a gray per second, reflecting how quickly energy is deposited in matter.

How is 1 decigray per second related to milligray per second?

One decigray per second equals 100 milligray per second, meaning the dose rate in dGy/s can be converted to mGy/s by multiplying by 100.

Where is this unit conversion commonly applied?

Applications include medical radiotherapy equipment calibration, radiation protection monitoring, particle accelerator experiments, and emergency nuclear incident response.
