Some medical tests give results in nanograms per milliliter per hour.
- A nanogram is one-billionth of a gram. A gram is about 1/30 of an ounce.
- A milliliter measures fluid volume equal to 1/1000 liter. A liter is a little bigger than a quart.
- An hour is the time period that the amount of nanograms per milliliter is measured for.
