Unit Definitions:

Contextual Explanation

Direct physical unit measuring the count of atomic nuclear disintegrations per minute. An essential and ubiquitous unit in operational health physics.

Practical Applications

Surface contamination wipe tests (smears), liquid scintillation counter (LSC) raw data conversions, workplace radiological safety release limits, and decontamination surveys.

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.
