Yes, the autotransformer is adjusted when selecting the kilovolt peak (kVp) in radiographic imaging. It functions to provide the necessary voltage to the primary side of the transformer, which ultimately determines the kVp applied to the x-ray tube. By adjusting the autotransformer, the radiologic technologist can set the appropriate kVp for optimal image quality and patient safety.

No, kVp (kilovolt peak) and keV (kiloelectronvolts) are not the same, though they are related. kVp refers to the maximum voltage applied across an X-ray tube, which determines the energy and penetrating power of the X-rays produced. keV is a unit of energy that indicates the energy of individual photons; for example, 1 kVp corresponds to approximately 1 keV of photon energy in a vacuum. Thus, while they are connected, they measure different aspects of X-ray production and energy.
The 5 percent kVp rule is a guideline used in radiography to optimize image quality while minimizing patient exposure to radiation. It states that increasing the kilovolt peak (kVp) by 5 percent can effectively reduce the required exposure time by approximately 50 percent, leading to less radiation dose to the patient. This rule helps radiologic technologists balance the need for adequate image brightness and contrast with the imperative to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
An example of using the word adjusted in a sentence would be the following sentence: She has adjusted to living in a new town.
In fluoroscopy, kilovoltage peak (kVp) typically ranges from 60 to 120 kVp, depending on the exam being performed. Lower kVp settings are usually used for pediatric patients and higher kVp settings for larger patients or exams requiring more penetration.

An autotransformer is a transformer where the primary and secondary are a single winding.
the power can flow either way through autotransformer (345/120 kV) ?
An increase in kVp by 15% must be accompanied by a reduction in mAs by 50% in order to maintain radiographic density. Inversely, a reduction of 15% in kVp must be accompanied by an increase in mAs by a factor of 2 (Doubling).

Rearranging the the equation to make c the subject:- c = kVp-2t
kvp- peak kilovoltage controls the radiographic contrast of an x-ray image. on some x-ray machines (older ones) the kvp's have to be manually set according to the measurements of the subject being x-rayed, in order for the x-ray to come out right.
kVp is the penetrating ability of an x-ray and half value layer is the amount of filtration or thickness of an object needed to reduce the intensity of the x-ray by half. So if you decreased kVp, then the half value layer would decrease.
