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.

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.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to millicurie [mCi]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 0.02702702703 millicurie [mCi]
• Step: 1 × 0.02702702703 = 0.02702702703 millicurie [mCi]
