What are Dekagray/second and Hectogray/second

Definition of Dekagray/second

A Dekagray/second (dag/s) is a unit of absorbed dose rate used in radiology and radiation physics, signifying the rate at which energy is absorbed per second by a material from ionizing radiation. The term 'Dekagray' is derived from the SI unit Gray, where one Gray equals one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter. When discussing dose rates, the prefix 'deka' denotes a factor of ten, meaning a Dekagray/second equates to ten Grays per second. This unit is crucial for applications involving radiation safety and treatment planning in medical physics.

Definition of Hectogray/second

A Hectogray/second (hg/s) is a unit of absorbed dose rate commonly used in the fields of radiology and radiation physics, indicating the energy absorption rate per second due to ionizing radiation. The term 'Hectogray' extends from the fundamental SI unit Gray, where one Gray corresponds to one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of a substance. The prefix 'hecto' implies a multiplication factor of one hundred, thus a Hectogray/second amounts to one hundred Grays per second. This measurement is vital in contexts such as radiation therapy and radiological protection.
