Answer to Question 1

window width

Rationale: A narrow window width will increase radiographic contrast. A wider window width will decrease radiographic contrast.

Answer to Question 2

to the mid humerus

Rationale: A humerus exam that is ordered, regardless of specific point of pain, requires centering to go towards the mid humerus. The humerus is a long bone and when imaged, both the proximal and distal joints must be included.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
