<s>[INST] Hi Doc. I just want to ask about the apico view. I had a chest xray examination the other day and the doctor wants me to go back for an apico view. What does this mean? Does this mean Im sick? Im worried. Your answer will be much appreciated. THank you [/INST] HelloApicolordotic view of chest is advised if there are suspicious densities in apical region of lung. Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs. This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs, clavicle etc. Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings. This is not a serious issue. Doctor only want to confirm the findings and this is needed for better treatment. Take Care Chat Doctor.  </s>
