It is: a chest xray with the xray beam angled to see the tops(apices) of the lungs better. On standard chest xray this region is often partially obscurred by superimposed ribs, and it may be difficult to determine if there is a nodule present. Sometimes, if the radiologist thinks there could be a lung nodule there, but is not sure if its is an artifact due to overlapping structures, they suggest it.
