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

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is a unit of measurement for radiation dose. It quantifies the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by an object or person. This unit is commonly used in radiation protection and serves as a measure of the biological effects of radiation.

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is another unit of measurement for radiation dose, specifically used to assess exposure to X-rays and gamma rays. This unit is defined as the amount of ionizing radiation that deposits 93 ergs of energy in 1 gram of air or tissue.
