Formula and example
How it is calculated
Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor
Worked example
1 R (roentgen) = 0.000258 C/kg.
Things to check
- Exposure is expressed in C/kg or, historically, roentgens. It differs from absorbed dose and equivalent dose, and cannot be used for a medical assessment here.
- Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
