Did you know? Medical ultrasound is 5,800,000 Hz.

Medical ultrasound imaging uses 2-18 MHz. Higher frequencies give better resolution but less penetration.

How to Convert Megahertz to Kilohertz

1 megahertz = 1000 kilohertz

Kilohertz = Megahertz × 1000

Example: 5 MHz × 1000 = 5000 kHz

Reverse Conversion

To convert kilohertz back to megahertz:

  • Remember, 1 kilohertz equals 0.001 megahertz.
  • To convert 5000 kHz to MHz, multiply 5000 x 0.001, resulting in 5 MHz.

5 MHz is also equal to:

About these units

Megahertz: SI decimal multiple of hertz; 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz = 10⁶ Hz

Kilohertz: SI decimal multiple of hertz; 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz = 10³ Hz

Frequently Asked Questions
