With this converter, the dose area product (DAP) can be converted into corresponding values expressed by other units. Use other tool for DAP to effective dose (mSv) conversion.
DAP unit converter
Simple example with respect to unit conversions:
When converting from Gy.cm2 to µGy.m2 the following reasoning can be followed: 1 Gy = 1,000,000 (1 million) µGy; 1 cm2 = 0.0001 m2; this means that 1 Gy.cm2 = 1,000,000*0.0001 µGy.m2 = 100 µGy.m2.
Note that some conversions won't result in any change, for example: 1 cGy*cm2 = 1 µGy*m2.
DAP values can be translated into effective dose levels by multiplication using specific conversion factors. For this purpose it is important that DAP value and conversion factor match in terms of their units. The above DAP calculator can be used to obtain the desired unit with regard to the DAP value.
Last but not least: practically DAP converter = KAP converter, see wikipedia.
Note: use point in stead of comma as a decimal separator.

Hi, any ideas how to convert mGym2 to cGycm2?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestion. This option has now been added to the converter
Delete1 mGym² is 1000 cGycm²
ReplyDeleteCorrect!
DeleteHi, any ideas how to convert mGym2 to mSv?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestion. See our DAP to mSv converter tot calculate effective dose. Work in progress.
DeleteGreat. How did you guys developed this converter? I mean with which technology? Is it just JavaScript? I want to build one for my website too.
ReplyDeleteHi, any ideas how to convert uGy/s to cGy/m
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion. We added this converter: https://www.dosewizard.com/2022/04/dose-rate-converter.html
DeleteAre 288 uGy*m2 dangerous for the fertility or gonads in general, either in a really minimal way?
ReplyDeleteHello! Does the conversion differ for DAP obtained from fluoroscopy vs. Cone Beam CT? If using a CT for a procedure, should we use DLP instead of DAP? Thanks in advance!
