Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

The X-ray chest shows some densities in the apical region of both lungs. To have a better view of the spices of lungs an additional view called 'apico-lordotic view' is suggested.

I suggest you get the X-ray at the earliest and consult your pulmonologist/physician for further management

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
