A Kilocurie (kCi) is a unit of radioactivity used to measure the decay rate of radioactive substances. It represents one thousand curies, with one curie defined as the quantity of radioactive material where 3.7 x 10^10 atoms decay per second. The kilocurie is commonly used in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals to quantify the activity level of a radioactive source. Understanding kilocurie measurements is crucial for professionals working in fields involving radiation, as it helps ensure safety standards and effective use of radioactive materials in various applications.
Definition of MillicurieA Millicurie (mCi) is a subunit of the curie, which quantifies radioactivity. Specifically, one millicurie equals one-thousandth of a curie. This measurement is extensively used in medical and scientific fields to express the activity of small amounts of radioactive isotopes. The millicurie provides a manageable and precise way to handle and describe the radiation levels in diagnostic imaging and therapeutic procedures. By utilizing millicuries, professionals can ensure accurate dosing and maintain safety protocols during the use of radioactive materials in clinical and research settings.
| Kilocurie (kCi) | Millicurie (mCi) |
|---|---|
| 0.001 kCi | 1 mCi |
| 0.002 kCi | 2 mCi |
| 0.005 kCi | 5 mCi |
| 0.01 kCi | 10 mCi |
| 0.02 kCi | 20 mCi |
| 0.05 kCi | 50 mCi |
| 0.1 kCi | 100 mCi |
| 0.2 kCi | 200 mCi |
| 0.5 kCi | 500 mCi |
| 1 kCi | 1000 mCi |
1 kCi = 1000 mCi
1 mCi = 0.001 kCi
Example 1:
Convert 2 kCi to mCi:
2 kCi = 2 × 1000 mCi = 2000 mCi
Example 2:
Convert 0.75 kCi to mCi:
0.75 kCi = 0.75 × 1000 mCi = 750 mCi
