Hi
It is apico lordotic view, done to see the lung apices, where the lungs which can be obscured partially by the collarbones on normal frontal views.
The x ray can change based on the pathology if present, otherwise it will be normal. Usually without any symptoms or any clinical problem there wont be any changes. So no need to worry for it if you don't have any clinical features.
Regards
