[|Human|] Hi, i just got my x ray result, it says there is a suspicious nodulocalcific density in the left clavicle. The heart is not enlarges. The trachea is midline. The hemidiaphragms and costophrenic sulci are intact. Impression: Suspicious density, left, Apico-lordotic view is suggested. What does this mean? :(
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normally, chest x-ray is taken in PA (posteroanterior) view. In this view, many structures in lung apex overlap. Structures like lung tissue, clavicle, ribs etc. overlap with each other. So any lesion in lung apex can not be visualized clearly, and hence accurate diagnosis can not be made. To overcome this overlapping issue, PICO lordosis view is done. In this view, chest x-ray is taken in such a way that overlapping of structures can be avoided and hence lesion in apex can be visualized properly. So get done PICO lordosis view topic diagnose suspicious opacity in your x-ray. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
