Tube Current Modulation or mA modulation for Computed Tomography (CT) including: Angular Tube Current Modulation Longitudinal Tube Current Modulation (z modulation, i.e SI tube current modulation)
Thank you, great video. Is there any way to calculate the power of the x-ray (in Watts) when the mA is modulated? I know the formula only for the constant mA (w*kVp*mA).Thanks
At any time point that formula is correct and if you want an average over time you can replace the mA in your formula with the average mA of the acquisition
Thanks for your vote of confidence. I’m trying to round out the videos on X-ray first then I’ll see what I can do about MRI. I’m not as knowledgeable on mri but I can see.
