Convert Millicuries to Gigabecquerels (mCi to GBq)
1 millicurie (mCi) = 0.037 gigabecquerels (GBq). 1 GBq = 27.02702703 mCi. Example: 15 mCi = 15 × 0.037 = 0.555 GBq.

How to Convert Millicurie to Gigabecquerel
- 1 mCi = 0.037 GBq
- 1 GBq = 27.02702703 mCi
- Example: convert 15 mCi to GBq: 15 mCi = 15 × 0.037 GBq = 0.555 GBq
Formula
GBq = mCi × 0.037
or GBq = mCi ÷ 27.02702702703
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 mCi = 3.7 × 10⁷ Bq = 37 MBq.
- 1 GBq = 10⁹ Bq.
- 1 mCi = 37000000 Bq ÷ 1000000000 Bq per GBq = 0.037 GBq
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Millicurie definition: millicurie; Gigabecquerel definition: gigabecquerel.
Worked examples
- A reading of 15 mCi converts to 0.555 GBq.
15 mCi × 0.037 = 0.555 GBq - A value of 30 mCi is 1.11 GBq.
30 mCi × 0.037 = 1.11 GBq
