A member asked:
Got my x-ray result and it says. suspicious infiltrates noted in the apical area. suggest apicolordotic view for proper evaluation. what does it means?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The apical area of the lung is the very top portion. I assume what the report says was "suggest ap and lordotic views". Ap (and it's opposite pa) refer to positioning of the cassette and x-ray beam. In ap (anterioposterior) the cassette is placed at your back and the beam directed at your front. Lordotic is a special view on chest x-ray that allows better views of the apices.
