About Millicuries
The millicurie (mCi) equals 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq = 37 MBq. The primary clinical nuclear medicine unit in the US: ¹⁸F-FDG PET doses are 8-15 mCi; ⁹⁹mTc cardiac stress tests use 25-35 mCi; ¹³¹I hyperthyroidism therapy uses 5-30 mCi. US pharmacopeia and NRC regulations specify doses in mCi. 1 mCi = 3.7 × 10⁷ 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.
