Roentgen

represented by "R", is the unit of measurement that indicates the charge produced in air by x or gamma rays, whereas SI Units are n terms of coulombs per kilogram of air (C kg-1). 1R = 2.58 X 10-4 C kg-1

Radiation Absorbed Dose and KERMA (Kinetic Energy Released in Material)

100 rad = 1 gray (Gy) 0.01 Gy = 1 rad

Radiation Dose Equivalent

100 rem = 1 sievert (Sv) 0.01 Sv = 1 rem 1 µSv = 0.1 mrem

Activity

1 disintigration per second = 1 becquerel (Bq) 2.7 X 10-11 curie (Ci) = 1 Bq 1 µCi = 37 kBq 1 mCi = 37 MBq 1 Bq = 27 pCi 370 MBq = 10 mCi

Common Units

0.001 mSv

 = 1 µSv = 0.1 mR = 100 µR

1 mR

= 1000 µR = 0.01 mSv = 10 µSv

100 mR

= 1 mSv = 1000 µSv = 100,000 µR
