Answer to Question 1

increased kVp and decreased mAs

Rationale: To keep patient dose in consideration, kVp should be selected that will adequately penetrate the part of interest, while mAs should remain as low as possible. Increasing the mAs factor can contribute most significantly to patient dose.

Answer to Question 2

AP oblique ankle with 15-20 degree medial rotation

Rationale: The image represents an AP oblique ankle with 15-20 degree medial rotation. The entire mortise joint is well visualized. The medial mortise and lateral mortise are open indicating proper rotation.
