If the water is under low pressure, it will flow slowly. If it is under high pressure, the water flows faster and more water flows through the pipe each second. In Electricity, the "pressure" in the wire is measured in volts, or Kilovolts (thousands of volts), and the amount of electricity, called the current, flowing through the wire each second is measured in amperes or in milliamperes (a milliampere is one thousandth of an ampere). - See more at: http://doctorspiller.com/Dental radiology/x-ray_characterist... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2015-06-30 11:15:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Depending on the sentence structure it can be controlling kilovoltage (kV) and milliamperage (mAs) |

The total output of an X-ray tube is directly proportional to the mAs (or either of its components). www.bu.edu/ehs/files/.../BU-X-ray-Safety-Guide-v-3-1101-201... |
