Converting from Microsievert (µSv) to Roentgen (R) | Radiation

What is Microsievert (µSv)

A microsievert (µSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by living tissue. It is commonly used in assessing radiation exposure from medical procedures or environmental sources.

What is Roentgen (R)

The roentgen (R) is another unit of measurement for ionizing radiation exposure. It measures the ionization of air caused by radiation and is typically used in older radiation dosimeters.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between microsieverts and roentgens is as follows:

• 1 (µSv) = 0.000115 (R)
• 1 (R) = 8695.652 (µSv)

For converting from microsieverts to roentgens, you can use the formula:

R=8695.652µSv​

And for converting from roentgens to microsieverts, the formula is:

µSv=R×8695.652

Examples

• 7 µSv is equal to 0.000805 R
• 7 R is equal to 60869.57 µSv
• 14 µSv is equal to 0.00161 R
• 14 R is equal to 121739.1 µSv
• 11 µSv is equal to 0.001265 R
• 11 R is equal to 95652.17 µSv
