Answer to Question 1

14x17 lengthwise IR with CR to T7/8 and midcoronal plane

Rationale: The image receptor on all lateral chest projections should be orientated lengthwise regardless of body habitus. The CR is directed to the level of T7/8 and to midcoronal plane.

Answer to Question 2

pedicle(s)

Rationale: The pedicle(s) sits directly posterior to the vertebral body and comprises the sides of the vertebral arch.
