"The AP lordotic projection is often used to evaluate suspicious areas within the lung apices that appeared obscured by overlying soft tissue, upper ribs or the clavicles on previous chest views (e.g. in cases of tuberculosis or tumour)."

"same positioning but different collimation is used to better visualisation of middle lobe and lingual lobe pathologies as they get the maximum thickness for X-ray beam to pass in this positioning"

"History and etymology"
"The AP lordotic projection is often used to evaluate suspicious areas within the lung apices that appeared obscured by overlying soft tissue, upper ribs or the clavicles on previous chest views (e.g. in cases of tuberculosis or tumour)."
"the patient is standing with feet approximately 30 cm away from the image receptor, with back arched until upper back, shoulders and head are against the image receptor"
"there are several ways to accomplish this view, should the patient be unable to achieve the aforementioned positioning; the patient can remain completely upright with upper back and shoulders against the image receptor and a 45-degree cephalic central ray angulation used to project the clavicles above the apices; this positioning option can be used to achieve this radiographic view with a supine patient"

"side marker placement is imperative; patients can have congenital conditions that mimic a mirrored image 2"
"remember to explain to your patient what you are about to do; remember to ask them to take a breath in and hold it; many times this gives the patient time to prepare and results in a better breath hold and therefore a higher quality radiograph"
