Answer to Question 1

mediolateral ankle

Rationale: Evaluation of the centering of the collimated light field indicates the center was directed to the medial malleolus. The image represents proper positioning, centering, and collimation.

Answer to Question 2

inferosuperior axial

Rationale: Inferosuperior axial is a nontrauma specialty view of the shoulder to demonstrate the relationship of the humeral head to the glenoid fossa. The inferosuperior axial, Lawrence method, requires the patient's arm to be abducted 90 degrees with palm supination.
