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.
