Convert Nanocuries to Megabecquerels
Convert Nanocuries (nCi) to Megabecquerels (MBq) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MBq = nCi × 3.700000000e-5
About Nanocuries
The nanocurie (nCi) equals 37 Bq. Sealed radioactive sources in laboratory instruments (electron-capture detectors in GC, ionisation chambers) are licensed in nCi; nCi is the working unit on US NRC licence forms and instrument calibration certificates for low-level sources. 1 nCi = 37 Bq = 3.7 × 10⁻⁸ Ci.
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.
