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 Kilobecquerels
The kilobecquerel (kBq) equals 10³ Bq. Food safety authorities report ¹³⁷Cs contamination in kBq/kg (Codex Alimentarius and EC 733/2008 limits); ¹²⁵I tracers in radioimmunoassay kits are typically 3.7-18.5 kBq per well. 1 kBq = 10³ Bq = 1000 Bq.
