Units & Measurements •
•
(mA): 10-3 ampere. In radiography, the current flow from the cathode to the anode in the x-ray tube is measured in milliampere. This current regulates the radiation intensity emitted by the x-ray tube. See X-Ray Tube. •
(mA min)
The product of the x-ray tube operating current and the exposure time in
minutes. See Milliampere and X-Ray Tube. •
(mA s) The product of the x-ray tube operating current and the exposure time in minutes. See Milliampere and X-Ray Tube. • • |
