Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The posteroanterior view is usually performed in the radiology department with equipment that standardizes the distance from the x-ray source to the film and where the x-ray technician can maximize the quality of each film. In addition, taking the film with the anterior chest closest to the film minimizes magnification of the heart.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Bone absorbs a large amount of the x-ray beam and is seen as a nearly white (radiopaque) shad-ow.
