Other uses

When the waist is very narrow, L-5 is often under-exposed: the ingot permits a higher MAS, while L-1 to L-4 are protected.

The ingot protects the diaphysis and the femoral neck, permitting a better penetration of the head and acetabulum.

The dorsal vertebrae are often over-penetrated by superimposed lungs: they are protected by the ingot.

The ingot protects the greater trochanter of an older, thin patient from over-penetration.
