- A unit of radiation exposure; the dose of ionizing radiation that will produce 1 electrostatic unit of electricity in 1 cc of dry air
- German physicist who discovered x-rays and developed roentgenography (1845-1923)
- Released March 27, 2002, Roentgen was the first solo album of popular Japanese vocalist, Hyde, released by his own label, Haunted Records, a division of Sony's Ki/oon Records, and the record was co-produced by Hyde and UK production team Ian Curnow and Dave Ford.
- Ru00F6ntgen is a relatively large lunar impact crater that lies along the northwestern limb of the Moon. Its northwestern outer rim is partly overlain by the crater Nernst. Both Nernst and Ru00F6ntgen overlie the eastern rim of the much larger walled plain Lorentz. The smaller crater Aston is separated from the eastern edge of Ru00F6ntgen by only a few kilometers of terrain...
- (Roentgens) A unit of measurement; the Doctor uses this to measure the chronoton level in Kes's body. (Before and After)
- (roentgens) noun unit of exposure in measuring ionizing radiation (x-rays)
- The unit of exposure from X or gamma rays (see exposure).
- A measure of the ability of x-rays or radioactive decay products to produce ionization in air. One roentgen corresponds to the absorption of about 86 ergs (100 ergs = 6.24 x 10 million electron volts, MeV) of energy from x- or gamma radiation, per gram of air. ...
- A unit of exposure to ionizing radiation. It is that of amount of gamma or X-rays required to produce icons carrying 1 electrostatic unit of electrical charge in 1 cubic centimeter of dry air under standard conditions. Named after Willhelm Roentgen, a German scientist who discovered X-rays in 1895.
