The Power Trio of Radiology.. kVp, mA, and mAs are the three pillars of image formation in X-ray & CT — and every radiographer must master them! 🔹 kVp (Kilovolt Peak): Controls beam quality, penetration & image contrast. Higher kVp = more penetrating X-rays. 🔹 mA (Milliampere): Controls the number of X-ray photons produced per second. 🔹 mAs (Milliampere-seconds): mA × time. Controls overall radiation quantity & directly affects image brightness & noise. Understanding these units helps you bal
