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 Microbecquerels

The microbecquerel (µBq) equals 10⁻⁶ Bq. Nuclear power plant effluent monitoring reports ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr in air and water at µBq/m³; dietary ²¹⁰Po intake from seafood consumption is assessed at µBq per daily serving in food safety surveys. 1 µBq = 10⁻⁶ Bq = 10⁻³ mBq.
