Answer to Question 1

superiorly

Rationale: Upon expiration, the diaphragm will move superiorly to remove air from the lungs. Upon inspiration, the diaphragm will move to its most inferior point, maximizing the lung capacity.

Answer to Question 2

AP oblique with medial rotation

Rationale: An AP oblique with medial rotation will shift the patella 1/2 free of superimposition from the medial femoral condyle. The lateral femoral condyle is free of superimposition and in profile.
