Answer to Question 1

posterior rib margin

Rationale: Rotation is determined by examining the posterior rib margin. If rotation is present, the acceptable distance between the posterior rib margins is 1/2 inch or 1 cm.

Answer to Question 2

1 mm

Rationale: 0.25 mm lead equivalency is recommended with kVp values less than 100 . 0.50 mm lead equivalent with kVp 100-150 and 1.0 mm lead equivalent with kVp greater than 150.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
