Conversion Formula

mCi/kg = MCi/kg × 1000000000

About Megacuries per kilogram

The megacurie per kilogram (MCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10¹⁶ Bq/kg. Encountered for extremely high-specific-activity nuclides: carrier-free ²²³Ra (α-emitter, t½ = 11.43 d) reaches ~50 MCi/kg; polonium-210 freshly separated from bismuth targets in research reactors has a specific activity near 4.5 MCi/g = 4.5 × 10³ MCi/kg. 1 MCi/kg = 3.7 × 10¹⁶ Bq/kg.

About Millicuries per kilogram

The millicurie per kilogram (mCi/kg) equals 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq/kg = 37 MBq/kg. Radiopharmaceutical preparations are sometimes characterised in mCi/kg when assessing organ uptake per body mass; ⁹⁹mTc-labelled compounds have specific activities in the mCi/µmol range that translate to high mCi/kg values. 1 mCi/kg = 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq/kg.
