[|Human|] i got my medical result today and it says that there are susupiciour densities in the left upper lobe of my lungs but may heart is normal and other structures are unremarkable. i don t have any diseaselukahikaro@ right now.. it says that i need an apicolordotic view.. what does it mean?
[|AI|]  Hello, Normally chest x-ray is taken in AP (Anteroposterior) view. In this view, lung apex is overlapped by ribs, clavicle etcetera. So any pathology in lung apex will not be clearly visible in the AP view. So apicolordotic view is asked. In this, a chest x-ray is taken in such a way that lung apex visualized clearly without overlapping by ribs and clavicle. So, it is better to get done apicolordotic view to identify suspicious opacity in the left lung apex. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
