Converting from Millisievert (mSv) to Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) | Radiation

What is Millisievert (mSv)

1(mSv)=0.1(rem)

The millisievert (mSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the radiation dose received by living tissues. It provides a measure of the potential for harm caused by radiation exposure.

What is Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem)

1(rem)=10(mSv)

The Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) is also a unit of radiation dose measurement. It takes into account the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from mSv to rem:

rem=mSv×0.1

To convert from rem to mSv:

mSv=rem×10

Examples

1. Converting 12 mSv to rem:

12 mSv=12×0.1=1.2 rem

2. Converting 17 rem to mSv:

17 rem=17×10=170 mSv

3. Converting 9 mSv to rem:

9 mSv=9×0.1=0.9 rem
