kilovoltage [kil″o-vol´tij]
kilovoltage (kil´
vōl´tj),
in radiography, the x-ray tube peak voltage during an exposure, measured in kilovolts.
kilovoltage (kil´
vōl´tj),n the electrical potential difference between the anode and cathode of a radiographic tube.
kilovoltage, constant potential,
n the potential of a constant voltage generator, in constant potential kilovolts (kvcp).
kilovoltage, equivalent (effective kilovoltage),
n the kilovoltage of monoenergetic radiation having the same half-value layer (HVL) as the heterogeneous beam produced by the peak kilovoltage in question.
kilovoltage
in radiography, the x-ray tube peak voltage during an exposure, measured in kilovolts.
