In reference to the AP oblique with 45 degree medial rotation, what error is present?
 
 the centering is not directed to the correct location
  the foot was not properly medially rotated
  collimation fails to include essential anatomy
  the foot was not dorsiflexed

Question 2

Ideal positioning of the foot for the plantodorsal axial projection is:
 
 dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is parallel to the image receptor
  dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor
  plantarflexed and the plantar surface is parallel to the image receptor
  plantarflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor

Answer to Question 1

collimation fails to include essential anatomy

Rationale: The ankle is properly positioned and centered, but the collimation fails to show the base of the 5th metatarsal. The base of the 5th metatarsal is a common fracture site and should be included even on ankle imaging.

Answer to Question 2

dorsiflexed and the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor

Rationale: Degree of dorsiflexion should ideally place the plantar surface of the foot perpendicular to the image receptor.

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).
