X-ray/radiation therapy beam filter, wedge

Definition
A wedge-shaped metal filter placed in a beam of primary radiation before it reaches the patient undergoing radiation therapy or imaging procedure. In radiation therapy it ensures uniform irradiation of body areas that vary in thickness or density. In diagnostic imaging it is used to obtain films of a more uniform density when the part being examined diminishes greatly in thickness from one side of the field to the other. It is typically made from aluminium (Al), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), tin (Sn) or combinations of these. Also called compensation filter because when one side of a patient is considerably thicker/denser than the other, the wedge compensates for the physical difference.
