Answer to Question 1

base of the 3rd metatarsal

Rationale: The central ray is directed to the base of the third metatarsal on the plantar surface of the foot. This centering and the tube angle should direct the beam through the talocalcaneal joint.

Answer to Question 2

to help minimize patient dose

Rationale: Technique charts help guide technologists in technical factor selection. They are used to try to reduce the need for repeat images.
