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 Millibecquerels
The millibecquerel (mBq) equals 10⁻³ Bq. Radiological surface contamination surveys in nuclear facilities use mBq/cm² alert levels for alpha and beta emitters; uranium and plutonium bioassay in urine from occupationally exposed workers is reported in mBq/sample. 1 mBq = 10⁻³ Bq = 10⁻³ s⁻¹.
