Answer to Question 1

1st cuneiform

Rationale: The lateral foot will use a mediolateral projection. The CR is directed at the level of the first cuneiform.

Answer to Question 2

at the level of the neck outside the lead apron and thyroid shield

Rationale: The radiation monitoring device should be worn on the front to record levels to the trunk of the body and at the collar level to specifically monitor exposures to the eyes and neck. The badge should be worn outside the protective lead.
