The wedge filter is commonly used in radiography of the femur as it helps to compensate for the increasing thickness of the bone towards the proximal end. This helps to ensure more uniform image density and reduce the risk of overexposure at the top and underexposure at the bottom of the image. The other options (K-edge filter, trough, and Thoraeus) are not typically used in radiography of the femur.
