Maybe this will help:

\"Millicurie - a dose unit for a radioactive source. It is a measure of atoms decaying over a period of time and defines the amount of radioactivity administered to a patient; 1 mCi is equivalent to 3.7 x 10 ^7 disintegration per second (dps). The new SI unit is the becquerel (Bq), which is equivalent to 1 dps.\"
