Doc, i got my x-ray result and this is the FINDINGS: Suspicious densities are seen on the left apex overlaying the osseous structures. The heart is normal size, shape, and position. Both hemidiaphrams and costophrenic are intact. The rest of the chest structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Suspicious densities, left apex. Apicolordotic view suggested.

I'm a bit worried about this.Last year i don't have this kind of result. I don't smoke and don't have cough. Please explain more to me. Thank you and more power.

Hi! Doc, my husband had a medical test yesterday and they requested an apicolordotic view today. He doesn't smoke. Nor experience cough for at least a year now. I'm worried that he might not pass the medical test. He will go on board this january. What might be wrong with him? Thank you.

Hi.  Your persistent cough of more than three weeks duration may be due to your inability to take antibiotics on a daily basis.  However, we cannot discount the possibility that this is pulmonary tuberculosis, given that you do have suspicious densities in your right upper lobe.  I suggest that you proceed with an apicolordotic x-ray.  In addition, I also suggest that you have your sputum examined for tubercle bacilli.  If the tests turn out positive, you may need to start taking medication for tuberculosis.
