About

Decay Lab

Features
Read full description

DecayLab makes radionuclide decay calculations and radiation unit conversions quick and straightforward. Designed for nuclear medicine professionals, researchers, educators, and students, it provides a clean, focused workflow that works entirely offline. Key features: • Calculate radioactive decay for a wide range of radionuclides • View activity at different reference and calculation times • Apply decay corrections quickly and consistently • Work with Bq, kBq, MBq, GBq and TBq, alongside nCi, µCi, mCi and Ci • Convert absorbed dose in Gy and rad, and equivalent dose in Sv and rem • Convert dose rates per second, minute, hour or day • See one value in every other unit at once, rather than one pair at a time • Access built-in radionuclide half-life data for 1,625 nuclides • Use all calculation features without an internet connection Gray and sievert are kept in separate tables. Converting between them requires a radiation weighting factor, which is a judgement about radiation type rather than a unit conversion, so DecayLab does not offer it. DecayLab is useful for: • Nuclear medicine technologists • Medical physicists • Radiation safety professionals • Researchers and educators • Students in nuclear medicine and related fields Whether you're checking an activity value, preparing calculations for a workflow, or studying radioactive decay, DecayLab keeps the process clear and efficient. Important: DecayLab is a calculation and educational tool. Results should be independently verified before being used in clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or safety-critical decisions.
