As of 2011, it is still listed on The Joint Commission’s Do Not Use set of words, although it continues to be under advisement. Because many hospitals do not accept special characters in their transcription, we are listing the most commonly used terms containing the Greek mu character, most often translated in medical words as "micro." ⍀ ␥ 〈 〉 C Ci Ci/hr Eq F g g g/kg g/L Gy H micro-, micron micromicron, micromicromicrohm microgamma microampere microbar microcoloumb microcurie microcurie per hour microequivalent microfarad micromicrogram microgram microgram per kilogram microgram per liter microgray microhenry in IU kat L m mm m3 mHg mol N Osm R s, sec U V W microinch one-millionth International Unit microkatal [micromole per second] microliter micrometer, micromillimicromillimeter cubic micrometer micrometer of mercury micromole micronewton microsmolar microroentgen microsecond microunit microvolt microwatt
