Unit Definitions:

millicurie

mCi

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 10-3 Curie (37 MBq). The primary legacy unit still heavily used for clinical radiopharmaceutical dosing in the United States.

Practical Applications

Patient dosing in nuclear medicine (e.g., 10–30 mCi Technetium-99m cardiac scans), industrial thickness gauges, and therapeutic hyperthyroidism treatments.

picocurie

pCi

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 10-12 Curie (0.037 Bq or 2.22 disintegrations per minute). Standard unit in the US for expressing extremely low-concentration environmental safety limits.

Practical Applications

Indoor Radon gas concentration testing (e.g., US EPA action limit of 4 pCi/L), public drinking water radioactivity monitoring, and agricultural soil limits.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 millicurie [mCi] to picocurie [pCi]:
• Conversion factor: 1 millicurie [mCi] = 1000000000 picocurie [pCi]
• Step: 1 × 1000000000 = 1000000000 picocurie [pCi]
