[|Human|] hello doc..I got my chest xray result the Impression was: suspicious reticular densities are seen on right apex are. Suggest apicolordotic view further evaluation. the heart is not enlarged. pleurodiaphragmic adhesion seen on the left side. the right hemidiaphragm and costophrenic sulci are intact. What does this mean?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question I completely understand your question reticular opacities over rt apex means there is some type of infective lesion over the rt upper part of lung, can be a consolidation or any lesion. As there are some hidden areas in the chest X-ray like posterior to clavicle posterior to heart etc. which cannot be clearly seen on chest X-ray post ant view, so lordosis view is ordered if there is such an opacity present. Next is pleurodiaphragmatic adhesion which means there is some kind of fibrotic change which caused the pleura to get adhered to the diaphragm or else we can say a pleural reaction earlier which caused pleural fibrosis .you should visit a pulmonologist which can order for some investigations like sputum for AFB and myogenic culture to rule out other diseases and come to a certain causethanksfeel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
