Converting from Nanosievert (nSv) to Roentgen (R) | Radiation

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of radiation exposure. It is a small unit, with nano denoting a factor of 10^-9. It is commonly used in the field of radiation protection to assess the health risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation.

What is Roentgen (R)

Roentgen (R) is another unit of measurement used in the field of radiation, specifically to measure the ionization of air caused by X-rays or gamma rays. It is commonly used in the United States for radiation dosimetry and regulatory purposes.
