Converting from Microroentgen (µR) to Millisievert (mSv) | Radiation

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a unit of measurement used to quantify exposure to ionizing radiation. It measures the amount of radiation absorbed by a material.

What is Millisievert (mSv)

Millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement for the equivalent dose of radiation received by biological tissues. It takes into account the different types of ionizing radiation and their potential biological effects.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formula from Microroentgen (µR) to Millisievert (mSv) is given by:

Similarly, to convert from Millisievert (mSv) to Microroentgen (µR), you can use the formula:

Examples

1. Converting 13 µR to mSv:

   13(µR)=13∗0.000008695652=0.0001130435(mSv)

2. Converting 10 mSv to µR:

   10(mSv)=10∗115000=1150000(µR)

3. Given conversion:

   • 3 µR = 0.00002608696 mSv
   • 3 mSv = 345000 µR

By using the provided conversion factors, you can easily perform conversions between Microroentgen (µR) and Millisievert (mSv) to better understand and quantify radiation exposure.
