What is an apicolordotic view?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A chest xray: with the tube/beam angled upward, or the patient positioned leaning back, so the top of the lungs(apices)can be better evaluated than on a standard chest xray.

Angled view: xray tube is angled 15 to 20 degrees toward head to project clavicles off of upper lung fields to see if any disease is hidden in this location.
