Answer to Question 1

chest

Rationale: Higher kVp is needed to penetrate the mediastinum to the spine. The higher kVp contributes to a low scale of contrast that will allow for differences to be noted between the lungs, lung markings, and heart.

Answer to Question 2

.50mm

Rationale: Protective lead aprons worn during fluoroscopy must be of 0.5 mm lead equivalent.
