About Gigabecquerels
The gigabecquerel (GBq) equals 10⁹ Bq. Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are dosed in GBq: ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA prostate cancer therapy uses 7.4 GBq per cycle; ¹³¹I thyroid cancer ablation uses 3.7-7.4 GBq; ²²³Ra-dichloride (Xofigo) bone metastasis therapy ~3-5 GBq per injection. 1 GBq = 10⁹ Bq.
About Disintegrations per minute
The disintegration per minute (dpm) equals exactly 1/60 Bq ≈ 16.7 mBq. Standard output unit of liquid scintillation counters (LSC) in biochemical and biomedical research for ³H and ¹⁴C tracer assays; radioimmunoassay protocols report results in dpm/well. 1 dpm = 1/60 Bq = 60 dph.
