Unit Definitions:

rutherford

Rd

Contextual Explanation

A non-SI legacy unit of radioactive decay rate defined as exactly 1,000,000 disintegrations per second (1 MBq). Introduced in 1946 to replace the Curie with a decimal-based system.

Practical Applications

Historical nuclear physics literature (1940s–1950s) and early radiometric dating calculations prior to the universal adoption of the Becquerel system.

megabecquerel

MBq

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 106 Becquerels (1 million disintegrations per second). The common scale for routine diagnostic nuclear medicine patient doses.

Practical Applications

Standard diagnostic radioisotope injections (bone scans, cardiac stress tests), gamma camera imaging, and biological radiolabeling assays.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to megabecquerel [MBq]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 1 megabecquerel [MBq]
• Step: 1 × 1 = 1 megabecquerel [MBq]
