Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to reports there is faint nodular-hazy opacity noted in left apical region.It may be due to pneumonia or past history of tuberculosis.You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Apicolordotic view is suggested,it is the special view X-ray for apical region because apical region is covered by many bony structures.This view give clear image of apical region.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
