What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms radiation exposure measurements from the SI unit coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) into the older tissue roentgen unit, facilitating historical dose approximation and comparison in radiological applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the radiation exposure value in coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
  • Select the output unit as tissue roentgen
  • Click convert to see the equivalent tissue roentgen value
  • Use the converted result for dose estimation or historical data comparison

Key Features

  • Converts SI radiation exposure units (C/kg) to tissue roentgen
  • Based on an established conversion factor for accurate translation
  • Supports users in medical imaging and radiological protection fields
  • Browser-based and user-friendly with straightforward inputs and outputs
  • Helps compare modern and historical exposure measurement data

Examples

  • 0.5 C/kg equals 1937.98 tissue roentgen
  • 0.001 C/kg equals 3.876 tissue roentgen

Common Use Cases

  • Calibrating radiological instruments and verifying X-ray and gamma-ray meters
  • Performing quality control on photon beam exposure during medical equipment testing
  • Converting historical exposure data to estimate absorbed dose in soft biological tissue
  • Supporting epidemiological records that require dose approximation from legacy units
  • Comparing older dosimetry readings reported in roentgen with SI-based units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm that the radiation type and energy correspond to typical conditions when using this empirical conversion
  • Use this conversion mainly for historical or approximate dose estimations rather than precise absorbed dose measurements
  • Supplement conversion results with modern dosimetry measurements using absorbed dose units when possible
  • Apply the tool for regulatory, quality control, or research contexts involving legacy exposure data

Limitations

  • Tissue roentgen is a non-SI, approximate unit relying on empirical relations
  • Conversion assumes similar radiation quality and soft tissue equivalence, which may not apply universally
  • Modern dosimetry primarily uses absorbed dose units like gray, so this conversion is mostly for historical or approximate uses

Frequently Asked Questions

What does coulomb per kilogram measure?
It measures ionizing radiation exposure as the electric charge produced by photons in a unit mass of dry air under specific conditions.

Why convert from C/kg to tissue roentgen?
To relate precise SI exposure values to historical or empirical dose approximations in soft biological tissue, aiding comparison with legacy data.

Is the tissue roentgen a modern measurement unit?
No, it is an older, non-SI unit mainly used historically to estimate tissue dose from exposure measurements.

Key Terminology

Coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
The SI unit measuring ionizing radiation exposure as the amount of electric charge produced by photons in dry air per kilogram.
Tissue roentgen
A historical, non-SI unit estimating radiation exposure that would produce similar ionization in soft tissue as one roentgen does in dry air.
Roentgen
An older unit of radiation exposure representing the ionization produced in air by X-rays or gamma rays.
