Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Apicolordotic view is used in radiography to see clearly the parenchyma of apex of lungs.
Apex portion of lungs is overshadowed by bony ribs and clavicle so it hinders the apical portion findings.
If radiologists suspect any doubtful lesion in apex portion then apicolordotic view is taken for confirmation.
You had inflammatory infiltrates in left lung base and you have taken antibiotics,so it is alright.
Hope you have understand the terms.
Take Care
