Answer to Question 1

C
The degree of lateral spinal curvature calculated from a radiograph is called the Cobb angle.

Answer to Question 2

C
When the patient is standing upright for the chest x-ray, any pleural fluid will go to the bases of the lungs and blunt the costophrenic angles. None of the other listed options will affect the costophrenic angles.
