Discussion

@MMcHugh: I hope your context confirms your choice here, since mAs as milliampere-seconds is also valid for apparati that control the amount of current and the time interval (the exposure) with a single setting.

Kilovoltage and Milliamperage

Electricity flows through a wire like water flows through a pipe. 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).

Depending on the sentence structure it can be controlling kilovoltage (kV) and milliamperage (mAs)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Andrzej Mierzejewski : Jednostka miary "mAs" nie oznacza "milliamperes".//Przeczytaj definicję z www.bu.edu - link w mojej odpowiedzi.

Often, kilovoltage, milliamperage, and TIME are controlled separately.

mAs

To jest jednostka miar
mAs = miliamperosekundy
czyli iloczyn: prąd x czas

W jednostkkach mAs określa się obciążenie prądowo-czasowe, patrz

mAs (MILLIAMPERE SECONDS): A combination unit, which is the product of the tube current (expressed in mA) and the exposure time (expressed in seconds). The total output of an X-ray tube is directly proportional to the mAs (or either of its components).
