Answer to Question 1

kVp

Rationale: kVp directly affects penetration of the part, affecting contrast, and secondarily contributing to density.

Answer to Question 2

use the plus density setting

Rationale: Additive pathologies such as ascites, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, edema, and rheumatoid arthritis require an increase in technical factors from the normal patient. Patients imaged with AEC and have known additive pathologies can be imaged by adding the plus density setting.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
