Answer to Question 1

mAs

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

Answer to Question 2

T1-4

Rationale: The upper thoracic vertebrae will be difficult to visualize on a true lateral t-spine due to the thickness and superimposition of the shoulders.
