Answer to Question 1

costovertebral

Rationale: The head of the rib articulates to the posterior vertebral body through a facet or demifacet. The joint formed is the costovertebral joint.

Answer to Question 2

mediolateral

Rationale: The mediolateral calcaneus will demonstrate the calcaneus in profile. Bone spurs are often associated with the tuberosity of the calcaneus. The tuberosity is imaged in profile with the mediolateral.
