Key Terminology

Dekagray per second (daGy/s): A derived SI unit of absorbed dose rate equal to 10 gray per second, representing how fast ionizing radiation energy is absorbed per kilogram of material.
Microgray per second (µGy/s): A unit of absorbed dose rate equal to one millionth of a gray per second, used for fine radiation dose measurements and monitoring.
Absorbed dose rate: The rate at which energy from ionizing radiation is deposited in matter, measured in joules per kilogram per second.
