At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre, you should book your X-Ray Apicogram because we offer state-of-the-art Radiology and Pathology services. Our digital X-ray system allows our doctors to get detailed information about the uppermost parts (the lung apices or tops) and can help them assess changes that may be present as a result of tuberculosis or scarring, infections, or other diseases affecting the upper lung areas. Our experienced radiologists deliver quality imaging in an efficient way with minimal radiation dose, and give a speedy report, ensuring proper diagnosis and an efficient treatment plan.

About X-Ray Apicogram

X-ray Apicogram is a special radiograph of the lungs that includes views of both lungs, which concentrate on the upper parts. In the ducts, the upper part of the lungs (lung apices) can be the site of early changes, especially with tuberculosis or other chronic lung conditions. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, state-of-the-art digital radiographic equipment aids in obtaining clear images of the lung apices to properly assess lung abnormalities.

What is an X-Ray Apicogram?

An X-ray apicogram is a special APICUM X-ray of the upper lung areas to get a better picture of the lung apices than a regular X-ray of the chest. When physicians require further examination of suspicious findings in the upper lung fields, it is generally recommended. The examination can assist in identifying scarring and fibrosis, calcifications and cavities, which may be signs of lung diseases.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray Apicogram

  • Evaluation of suspected tuberculosis (TB)
  • Abnormal findings on chest X-ray
  • Persistent cough
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Long-term respiratory symptoms
  • Follow-up of previous lung infections
  • Assessment of lung scarring or fibrosis
  • Evaluation before certain medical procedures

Conditions Evaluated

Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Helps identify changes in the lung apices commonly associated with tuberculosis infection.

Lung Scarring and Fibrosis

Assesses fibrotic changes or old healed infections affecting the upper lungs.

Lung Cavities

Helps detect abnormal hollow spaces that may develop due to infections or other lung conditions.

Calcifications

Identifies calcium deposits associated with previous infections or healed lesions.

Chronic Lung Conditions

Supports evaluation of structural changes in the upper lung regions.

Follow-Up of Lung Abnormalities

Helps monitor previously identified findings and disease progression.
