Conversion Formula
Rd = GBq × 1000
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 Rutherfords
The rutherford (Rd) equals exactly 10⁶ Bq = 1 MBq. Proposed by Ernest Rutherford and adopted at the 1946 Montreal Conference on Radioactivity as a convenient unit for large sources. Superseded by the MBq in SI but still encountered in older nuclear physics and reactor engineering literature. 1 Rd = 10⁶ Bq.
