Compensating filter "Little Prism"
Compensating filters are used for structures with large...
Compensating filters are used for structures with large differences in absorption.
Equals 9 cm of added tissue protection.
C-7 may receive a much higher MAS, while the ingot protects C-1 to C-6.
Two useful lengths: 25 and 15 cm approx.
Holds vertically with a velcro strap.
C-7 in three steps
1 – Passive traction
2 – Low centering
3 – The ingot
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.
