Answer to Question 1

inferior angle of scapula

Rationale: The thoracic vertebrae 7/8, which corresponds to the inferior angle of the scapula, determines the proper centering level on the patient. This landmark could be palpated before wrapping the arms around the upright Bucky to roll the shoulders forward and remove scapulae from the lung field.

Answer to Question 2

70 kVp and table Bucky

Rationale: The knee on an adult typically exceeds 10 cm so in most cases, adult patients can be imaged in the table Bucky if in the department or with a grid. Part thickness of the knee will correspond to an average of 65-70 kVp.
