Answer to Question 1

lateral

Rationale: The lateral lumbar spine will show the body's anterior and the spinous processes in profile posteriorly. A true lateral will demonstrate the intervertebral foramina.

Answer to Question 2

jugular notch and vertebra prominens

Rationale: When positioning the PA chest, the vertebra prominens can be used to measure down 7-10 inches to reach approximately level of thoracic vertebrae of 7/8 . When positioning the AP chest, the jugular notch is the landmark of choice to measure down 3-4 inches to reach the proper center location.
