Converting from Microroentgen (µR) to Microsievert (µSv) | Radiation

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a unit of measurement for ionizing radiation exposure. It measures the amount of radiation energy absorbed per unit mass in tissue.

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit of measurement for the biological effect of ionizing radiation on humans. It quantifies the potential for harm caused by radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Microroentgen (µR) to Microsievert (µSv):

• For most substances:
  µSv=0.008695652∗µR
• For water or soft tissue:
  µSv=0.01∗µR

Examples

1. Converting 13 µR to µSv:

   • For most substances:
     µSv=0.008695652∗13=0.1130435µSv
   • For water or soft tissue:
     µSv=0.01∗13=0.13µSv

2. Converting 9 µSv to µR:

   • For most substances:
     µR=115∗9=1035µR
   • For water or soft tissue:
     µR=100∗9=900µR

3. Converting 10 µR to µSv:

   • For most substances:
     µSv=0.008695652∗10=0.08695652µSv
   • For water or soft tissue:
     µSv=0.01∗10=0.1µSv
