Converting from Millisievert (mSv) to Nanosievert (nSv) | Radiation

What is Millisievert (mSv)

A Millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by biological tissues. It is commonly used in the field of radiation protection to assess the potential harm caused by exposure to radiation.

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

A Nanosievert (nSv) is a smaller unit of radiation measurement, equivalent to one billionth of a sievert. It is used to measure very low levels of radiation exposure, especially in medical imaging and laboratory research.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from Millisievert (mSv) to Nanosievert (nSv): nSv=mSv×1000000

• To convert from Nanosievert (nSv) to Millisievert (mSv): mSv=nSv×0.000001

Examples

1. 10 mSv equals 10,000,000 nSv
2. Converting 6 mSv to nSv gives 6,000,000
3. 17 nSv is equivalent to 0.000017 mSv
