[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Normal chest x-ray is taken in PA (PosteroAnterior) view.  In this view apical part of lung is overlapped by clavicle and upper ribs (1st and 2nd). So any lesion in apical part can not be clearly visualized, thus proper reporting is not possible. So to overcome this problem, apicolordotic view is done. In this view, x-ray of chest is taken in such a way that apical areas are clearly visualized and so proper reporting of lesion can be possible. So get done apicolordotic view.
