Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kilovoltage (kV) is a term used to describe the energy of the x-ray photons in digital imaging. It controls the contrast and penetration of the x-rays through the patient's tissues. Milliamperage (mA) and mAs (milliampere seconds) control the quantity of x-rays produced, while signal refers to the electronic signal produced by the detector in response to the x-rays.
