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 Nanobecquerels
The nanobecquerel (nBq) equals 10⁻⁹ Bq. Atmospheric surveillance for tritium and ¹⁴C near nuclear facilities reports discharge rates in nBq/m³; EU drinking water directives set indicator activity concentrations for some radionuclides at the nBq/L level. 1 nBq = 10⁻⁹ Bq = 10⁻³ µBq.
