Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Normally chest x ray is taken in PA (posteroanterior) view. In this view, upper part of lung is overlapped by ribs and clavicle. So any opacity in upper part of lung is not properly visualized in PA view. So apicolordotic view is ordered. In this chest x ray is taken in such a way that upper part of chest is visualized without being overlapped by ribs and clavicle. So for better diagnosis of your left upper zone suspicious opacity, apicolordotic view is ordered. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
