decigray to gray
Convert decigray (dGy) to gray (Gy). Use an editable absorbed dose converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dGy = 0.1 Gy
Conversion formula
One decigray equals 0.1 gray. Multiply your value in decigray by this factor to get gray. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decigray:5 × 0.1 = 0.5 Gy

About these measurements
Absorbed dose measures energy deposited per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the gray. One decigray is 0.1 base units; one gray is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Physical unit conversion only. Biological effect requires additional information and professional assessment.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
