Answer to Question 1

apply a wedge filter with the thick end of the wedge to align with the toes

Rationale: A compensation filter could be applied to the dorsoplantar projection. Align the thicker end of the wedge with the toes. The compensating filter would help with production of more even density.

Answer to Question 2

film badge

Rationale: Film badges are durable, serve as a permanent record of exposure, filter the direction of exposure, detect large and small exposures, and are cost effective.
