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.
