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 Picobecquerels
The picobecquerel (pBq) equals 10⁻¹² Bq. Environmental monitoring of drinking water reports naturally occurring ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra at pBq/L; ultra-low background Geiger counters in underground laboratories detect pBq-level contamination on detector surfaces. 1 pBq = 10⁻¹² Bq = 10⁻³ nBq.
