Converting from Roentgen (R) to Microroentgen (µR) | Radiation

What is Roentgen (R)

Roentgen (R) is a unit of measurement for ionizing radiation exposure. It measures the amount of ionization in the air caused by gamma or X-ray radiation.

What is Microroentgen (µR)

Microroentgen (µR) is a smaller unit of measurement for radiation exposure, commonly used in health physics and environmental monitoring. It is one millionth of a Roentgen (R).
