Yes, that means normal so your lungs are fine by chest X-ray, no further testing at this time.

An apicolordotic view is often obtained to better visualize the top part of the lungs. If they were definitely "negative" then I take that to mean that the question of some issue in this area has been rectified with additional views and appears normal. It would best be commented on by the doctor who ordered the study, since we would know best what question he wanted to answer.
