Karla,
I'm not sure how to post this on Histonet, but you might want to share
with the rest.
A "curie" is a unit of radioactivity defined as the quantity of any
radioactive nuclide in which the munber of disintegrations per second is
3.7000 X 10 to the 10th.
A "microcurie" is on millionth of a curie, or one thousandth of a
millicurie.
I found this in Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary 23rd edition.
Funny question for the registry...
