Can beta rays pass through 1cm thick aluminium foil?

No, it cannot. Alpha particles can be stopped using aluminum foil. Beta particles (electrons) posses higher kinetic energy and have smaller cross section. Lead is widely used to stop beta particles as well as gamma particles. Gamma particles are basically high energy photons which are extremely dangerous for alive creatures. Extra precaution must be taken when you are working with such radiation.

If the patient's hands are in the field of the xray they will appear on the film, so even if they are on the stomach they will appear as if they are over or near the spine. If someone has helped immobilise the patient for the xray, then their hands may appear on the film.
