Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Doc,good day. We took our annual physical exam just a recent day ago.. My xray result showed suspicious infiltrates noted in the right upper lobe partly obscurred by bony thorax. I was suggest to undergo apicolordotic view. I am so worried about. I take apicolordotic xray immediately the same day,and the result stated that my lungs are clear. do I need to worry or it s just show that my I have no lung problem at all?
While it's quite reassuring that the lordotic view is clear. And it is very unlikely that anything gross in the apex would be missed by a lordotic view. Howe'ver the gross difference in two reports, I would suggest getting another opinion to be sure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman,
General & Family Physician
