milligray to decagray
Convert milligray (mGy) to decagray (daGy). Use an editable absorbed dose converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 mGy = 0.0001 daGy
Conversion formula
One milligray equals 0.0001 decagray. Multiply your value in milligray by this factor to get decagray. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 milligray:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 daGy

About these measurements
Absorbed dose measures energy deposited per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the gray. One milligray is 0.001 base units; one decagray is 10 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.
Common questions
How do I convert mGy to daGy?
Multiply the quantity in mGy by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decagray to milligray converter.
