25
SI for absorbed dose is...
Gray(Gy)
26
What is the ratio of Gy to RAD?
1 : 100, 1 Rad : 0.01 Gy
27
What is the SI for Dose Equivalent?
Sievert (SV)
28
what is the relationship of Sv to REM?
1 : 100, 1 REM : 0.01 Sv
29
Radioactivity in SI is...
Becquerel (Bq)
30
Ci to Bq...
3.7 x 10 to the tenth Bq : 1 Ci
31
How do you convert Roentgen to C/Kg? and C/Kg to Roentgen?
Multiply 2.58 x 10 to the -4, Divide to convert C/Kg to R
32
When converting Rad to Gray and Gray to Rad
Rad to Gray = multiply by 0.01 and Gray to Rad = Divide by 0.01
33
When converting from REM to Sv and Sv to REM
Multiply by 0.0.1 and Divide 0.01
