Answer to Question 1

AP oblique

Rationale: The AP oblique projections correlate to the RPO and LPO positions. The AP oblique projections will demonstrate the intervertebral foramina furthest from the IR.

Answer to Question 2

AP with inversion stress

Rationale: An inversion stress view will image the patient's ankle with an AP projection, and then the foot is inverted to stress the lateral portion of the ankle.
