Question 1

what do doctors diagnose from chest x-ray ap view?

Accepted Answer

Many things: X-rays of the chest can see the heart, lungs, trachea, major blood vessels as well as the bones and soft tissues of the chest wall.

Question 2

can rib ap view x-ray detect all forms of non-malignant bone tumors? what about malignant?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Do you have any symptoms? Why would have a chest x-ray, if there are no health issues? To address your question directly, chest x-ray is not 100% diagnostic of tumors, benign or malignant.

Question 3

does an x-ray provide a sectional view of the body?

Accepted Answer

No, CT scans do: A CT scan uses x-rays to create a sectional stack of images of the body that a radiologist can then scroll through.

Question 4

my x ray findings is that there are suspicious densities in the upper right apex and i need to have an apicolortodic view.what is the meaning of this?

Accepted Answer

: The radiologist is asking for different view (angle) of the top of the lungs to decide if an area is a problem or not.

Question 5

my impression in x ray stated: suspicious densities are seen in midle lungfield. deferred. coned down view corelation suggested. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Needs clarification : That simply means the radiologist wants better pictures of his area in order to attempt diagnosis. Finding is currently unclear.

Question 6

i recently had an x-ray, in the first test it was said that there were suspicious densities in my upper right and it was recommended to have an apicolordotic view and the result was "having infiltrates in the upper right", what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: The second set of films appear to confirm presence of a pneumonitis, which is most likely of infectious origin.  This indeed does need further evaluation and treatment.  Etiology based upon data provided is unclear.  See your doctor ASAP and get this handled.

Question 7

how much radiation dose in a single rib x-ray view/one side?

Accepted Answer

Less than on beach: Amount of radiation exposure is a fraction of rad in chest xay, it is repeat need less xrays are the problem.Current x ray machine are highly sophisticated will emit very little radiation. If needed and indicated for diagnosis do not be afraid, and speak to the radiologist.

Question 8

what does this mean(x-ray reading):slightly limited inspiration on lateral view compressing the basilar parenchyma ?

Accepted Answer

Incomplete breath: It means that the radiologist felt that you did not take a complete breath in (or the pictures were taken after you started exhaling) during the process of getting the X-ray. As a result, the part of the lungs near the bases (bottom) seem to show up more dense than the rest of the lung. Again, radiologist felt that this is due to incomplete breath during the X-ray procedure.

Question 9

i recently had an x-ray, in the first test it was said that there were suspicious densities in my upper right lobe and it was recommended to have an apicolordotic view and the result was having infiltrates in the upper right apex. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Resolution: A better view of the area is advised. With additional images more information may  result. Smoking, family history and TB exposure may be reviewed with the report by Healthtap consultant.

Question 10

in my apl view of x-ray, it is stated there that there's fibrohazed densities in the spices in upper lobes. what does it mean?

Based on your symptoms and exam, your doctor may make a diagnosis and treatment  or further testing  may be recommended which may include cultures, blood test,  tb tests, CAT scan, bronchcoscopy,
