Hello
Your chest X-ray findings suggests doubtful opacities in apical areas of lungs.
You are rightly suggested for apicolordotic view of chest.
This view is suggested if there are suspicious densities in apical region of lung.
Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs.
This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs,clavicle etc.Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings.
Rest of the findings are normal.Heart,both CP angles,both domes of diaphragm are normal.
Take Care
