Converting from Microroentgen (µR) to Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) | Radiation

What is Microroentgen (μR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a unit of measurement used to quantify ionizing radiation. It represents the amount of radiation energy deposited per unit mass of material.

What is Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem)

Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) is a unit that quantifies the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation and its potential harm to the body.
