Answer to Question 1

image will be acquired tabletop with the kVp at approximately 60

Rationale: Approximately kVp for fingers and hands is 55-60 kVp. The part is under 10 cm, so therefore a grid is not required and can be imaged tabletop.

Answer to Question 2

volume

Rationale: Voxel is the volume of pixels, each pixel contained within a volume of tissue.
