Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wedge filter can be used to provide a more uniform density of the anatomy in a dorsoplantar projection of the foot by compensating for the increased thickness of the anatomical structures towards the periphery of the image. Bilateral wedge filters are typically used in mammography, trough filters are used to reduce scatter radiation, and Thoraeus filters are used to filter out low-energy x-rays.
