Answer to Question 1

Filtration

Rationale: Filtration serves to remove the lower energy radiation from the emerging beam to prevent it from reaching the patient.

Answer to Question 2

lateromedial

Rationale: The lateral first digit will require the leg and foot to be rotated medially in order to place the 1st digit closest to the image receptor. The projection most ideal for the 1st digit is lateromedial.
