Peak kilovoltage (kVp) is a measure of the maximum voltage applied across an X-ray tube during the production of X-rays. It is a crucial parameter in radiography and medical imaging, as it directly influences the quality and penetration power of the X-rays generated. Higher kVp settings produce X-rays with higher energy and greater penetrating ability, which can be useful for imaging denser structures, such as bones.
