Milliampere - Seconds, or mAs, is the product of Milliamperage and exposure time (seconds). Milliamperage (mA) is a unit that represents the rate at which x-rays are produced, and when this number is multiplied by the exposure time in seconds, the resulting quantity is expressed in units of mAs. These units of mAs indicate the total quantity of radiation involved in an exposure. We as radiographers manipulate and change this combination of mA and seconds every day The formula for determining mAs is: mA x seconds = mAs According the basic principles of algebra, you can rearrange this formula to isolate and solve for any of its three parts: mA = mAs + seconds seconds = mAs + MA mAs = mA x seconds
