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 Picocuries
The picocurie (pCi) equals 3.7 × 10⁻² Bq = 37 mBq. The US EPA uses pCi/L as the standard unit for indoor radon (action level: 4 pCi/L) and drinking water radon; NRC licence exemption thresholds and natural uranium activity in groundwater are expressed in pCi/L. 1 pCi = 3.7 × 10⁻² Bq.
