Answer to Question 1

asthenic

Rationale: Thinner patients will require more cephalic tube angle for the axial projection to project the clavicle superior to the bony thorax. The axial tube angle range for the clavicle is 15-30 degrees.

Answer to Question 2

the overall blackness on the image

Rationale: Milliamperage-seconds, mAs, contributes to the overall blackness of the image. It represents the quantity of radiation produced.
