Answer to Question 1

C7-T1

Rationale: Subluxation at the level of C7-T1 is possible and this area can be extremely difficult to image. Misalignment at this level could be a cause of patient paralysis.

Answer to Question 2

all of these answers apply

Rationale: Tungsten is the preferred target material because it ahs a high atomic number, has a high melting point, and thermal conductivity. Its high atomic number improves efficiency. Its high melting point prevents pitting and cracking. Its thermal conductivity dissipates heat.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
