Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Normal chest x-ray is taken in Posteroanterior (PA) view. In this view upper part of both lungs are not clearly visualized due to overlapping from 1st, 2nd ribs and clavicle. So if any lesion is present in upper part of lung, this will not be clearly seen and hence proper reporting can not be done. So to overcome this problem, apicolordotic view is ordered. In this, x-ray is taken in such a way that, spices (upper part of lung) are clearly visualized with overlapping with bony structures. So lesions of upper part of lung cam be seen clearly, and hence proper reporting can be done. So get done apicolordotic view.
