Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mAs (milliamperage-seconds) controls the quantity of radiation in the exposure. It is the product of the tube current and the exposure time, which determines the total number of electrons passing through the x-ray tube, and thus the amount of radiation produced. The wavelength of the x-ray beam is determined by the kVp (kilovolt peak) setting, not mAs. The mAs does not affect the rate of x-ray production or the voltage across the x-ray tube.
