[|Human|] Hi Doc! My x ray result is questionable opacities seen in the right upper lobe. Heart is not enlarged.Diaphragm and sulci are intact. Bones and soft tissue.Outline is unremarkable.Interpretation Questionable opacities, right upper lobe. Suggest lordotic view for further evaluation.What does it mean Doctor?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Normal chest x-ray is taken in the PosteroAnterior (PA) view. In this view apical positions of the lung are overlapped by bony structures like clavicle and first 2 ribs.  So any lesion in apical part of lung is not clearly visualized.  So proper reporting is not possible. To overcome this lordosis view is needed. In lordosis view x-ray is taken in such a way that bony structures will not occlude apical parts. So better visualization of apical area is possible. And due to this better reporting of the lesion is possible.
