The apico lordotic view is a specific radiographic projection used primarily in dental and medical imaging, particularly for visualizing the apices of the lungs and the upper regions of the chest. In this view, the patient is positioned in a lordotic posture, leaning backward with the shoulders rolled back, which helps to project the clavicles above the lung fields. This positioning enhances the visualization of the apices and can aid in the diagnosis of conditions such as lung tumors or infections. It is especially useful in identifying abnormalities that may be obscured in standard chest X-rays.

What does this mean bulging disc at C5-6 minimal compression loss of lordotic curvature?

I'm no expert but I recently had a neck xray and C5-6 in that case referred to the joint between the fifth and sixth vertebrae from the top of the spine. Bulging disc means the disc that sits between those two vertebrae has come out of place in some way. Minimal compression I'm not totally sure so I wont answer. Loss of lordotic curvature means that rather than retaining the natural curve of the spine, it has become straighter in that area. This condition is Cervical Kyphosis.
