Re: Conversion: millirad/hr to uR/hr

     If my math is correct:
     
     In air, 1 R ~ 0.87 rad.  Hence,    1149.4 uR/hr = 1 millirad/hr
     
     In tissue, 1 R of x radiation  (0.1 - 3.0 MeV) ~ 0.96 rad.
     Therefore,  1041.67 uR/hr = 1 millirad/hr.

Can anyone provide me with the subject conversion factor?
     
Thanks,
