About Megabecquerels

The megabecquerel (MBq) equals 10⁶ Bq and is the standard clinical nuclear medicine unit outside the US. ⁹⁹mTc bone scans use 740 MBq; ¹⁸F-FDG PET scans use 370 MBq; ¹³¹I diagnostic thyroid scans use 185-370 MBq. European and Australian protocols specify all doses in MBq. 1 MBq = 10⁶ Bq.

About Femtobecquerels

The femtobecquerel (fBq) equals 10⁻¹⁵ Bq, used in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to quantify cosmogenic radionuclides (¹⁰Be, ³⁶Cl) in ice cores and geological samples. Ultra-low-background counting in deep underground laboratories reaches the fBq/kg level for solar neutrino detector purity assessment. 1 fBq = 10⁻¹⁵ Bq = 10⁻³ pBq.
