MBqkg
MBq/kg, or megabecquerel per kilogram, is a radiopharmaceutical dosing metric used in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacology. It expresses the administered radioactive activity relative to a patient’s body mass, enabling dose personalization to balance therapeutic effectiveness with safety. MBq denotes one million decays per second, while kg represents body weight, so MBq/kg describes decays per second per kilogram of tissue.
Calculation and use are straightforward: total administered activity (in MBq) equals the MBq/kg dose level multiplied
Applications are common in nuclear medicine therapies that use radioactive isotopes, including examples such as certain
Clinical considerations include the choice of radionuclide, disease target, and patient factors such as organ function
