What are Terabecquerel and Millicurie

Definition of Terabecquerel

A Terabecquerel (TBq) is a unit of radioactivity in the International System of Units (SI) that measures the rate at which a radioactive isotope decays. It is equivalent to one trillion (10¹²) disintegrations per second. The term 'becquerel' honors Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity in 1896. Used primarily in nuclear physics, medicine, and radiation safety, the Terabecquerel quantifies the intense activity of large radioactive sources, making it essential in various scientific and industrial applications.

Definition of Millicurie

The Millicurie (mCi) is a unit of radioactivity used in the field of radiology and nuclear medicine, representing one-thousandth of a curie. A curie is based on the decay rate of radium-226, equivalent to 3.7 x 10¹⁰ disintegrations per second, and honors Marie and Pierre Curie for their work in radioactivity. The mCi is often used to measure smaller quantities of radioactive substances, especially in medical diagnostics and treatments, where precise and safe dosages are critical. It helps in assessing the effectiveness and safety of radiopharmaceuticals.
