Answer to Question 1

using a higher ratio grid

Rationale: Higher ratio grids are more efficient at absorbing scatter. Grid ratios can be 5:1 . 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1, or 16:1.

Answer to Question 2

C1-C2

Rationale: C1 and 2 will not be visible on the AP axial c-spine due to the mandible and base of the skull. The AP axial will demonstrate the vertebral bodies of C3-7.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
