The information below is from Wikipedia concerning radiation, which is something people in Japan are currently learning more about at a rapid pace because of the previous 2 explosions at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Frequently used SI multiples are the millisievert (1 mSv = 10−3 Sv) and microsievert (1 μSv = 10−6 Sv) or (1 mSv = 0.001 Sv) and (1 μSv = 0.000001 Sv). The millisievert is commonly used to measure the effective dose in diagnostic medical procedures...
