Or likewise for Bq/cm
2
, efficiency could be calculated as: efficiency = count
rate/disintegration rate*detector area (in cm
2
). For example, with the same
detector as above with an area of 15 cm
2
, and starting with an efficiency value of
15%, then the parameter could be changed to 225% to measure in Bq/cm
2
.
