Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total quantity of x-rays in an exposure is determined by the product of tube current (mA) and exposure time (seconds), which is measured in milliampere-seconds (mAs). SID (source-to-image distance) refers to the distance between the x-ray tube and the image receptor, kVp (kilovoltage peak) refers to the peak potential difference applied to the x-ray tube to create the x-rays, and volts are not typically used to measure the total quantity of x-rays in an exposure.
