What is a millicurie?

There are one thousand millicuries in a Curie. The Curie is a non-SI unit of measure of radioactivity. One Curie is roughly the activity of 1 gram of the radium isotope 226Ra, a substance studied by Marie and Pierre Curie.


Which category of the test standards does Millicurie refers to as per the standards given by USP for the radio Pharmaceutical Products?

I'm not familiar with Pharmacy, but Curie and Millicurie and Microcurie define a quantity of radioactive material, a Curie was originally defined as the activity of 1 gram of Radium. Now this has been superseded by the Bequerel, where 1 Bequerel is defined as 1 disintegration per second, but you will find many references to millicurie I am sure. 1 millicurie is in fact 3.7 x 107 disintegrations per sec so it is still a large unit. See the attached link below. You might get a better reply in the Medical Technology category of questions.

What is the relation of a gram to a curie?

A curie is a unit of measurement for radioactivity, while a gram is a unit of mass. There is no direct relationship between the two as they measure different properties.

Milliliter versus millicurie?

You cannot compare volume and radiation.


What is meant by the terms mCi and mrem?

Ci is abbreviation for curie, which is a unit of activity of radioactive substances equivalent to 3.70 × 10 10 disintegrations per second: it is approximately the amount of activity produced by 1 gram of radium-226. rem: the quantity of ionizing radiation whose biological effect is equal to that produced by one roentgen of x-rays. mrem is a millirem & mCi is a millicurie.

How do you convert count per second to becquerel?

1 Curie is defined as 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second, so a millicurie will be 3.7 x 107 dps (or Bequerels as it is now called). This is a total quantity, if you have a piece of material which produces this number of Bequerel it is said to be 1 millicurie of that material.In terms of counts per second perceived by a detector, it depends very much on the design of the detector. For example what is the solid angle subtended by the detector, what type of radiation is it detecting, what is its efficiency in detecting and counting the particles emitted? So there is no simple answer to the question.
