nanogray to decigray
Convert nanogray (nGy) to decigray (dGy). Use an editable absorbed dose converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nGy = 1e-8 dGy
Conversion formula
One nanogray equals 1e-8 decigray. Multiply your value in nanogray by this factor to get decigray. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanogray:5 × 1e-8 = 5e-8 dGy

About these measurements
Absorbed dose measures energy deposited per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the gray. One nanogray is 1e-9 base units; one decigray is 0.1 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.
Common questions
How do I convert nGy to dGy?
Multiply the quantity in nGy by 1e-8. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decigray to nanogray converter.
