Unité (maintenant abandonnée) utilisée pour quantifier une application de curiethérapie avec des sources de radon Rn ou de radium Ra.

OBS

Initialement définie pour le RN, elle exprimait la quantité de rayonnement émise jusqu'à désintégration totale par une source de 1 mCi. Cette quantité est la même que celle émise en 133 h par une source de 1mg (ou mCi) de Ra; le mcd (=133 mg.h) a été utilisé pour quantifier les applications de Ra.
