Hello,
An X-ray chest is done in two views - AP and lateral view to have a complete picture of entire lung fields.
Presence of questionable densities in the apex of the lung could be due to calcification.
I suggest you consult your pulmonologist after both AP and lateral views.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shailja Puri,
