Book your CECT Coccyx at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL and NABH accredited centre for advanced radiology & pathology services. We have a state-of-the-art Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) technology which takes detailed cross-sectional images of the coccyx, sacrum, and surrounding soft tissue and other parts using intravenous contrast. This scan is used to help doctors diagnose a tumour, infection, inflammatory condition, collection, soft tissue abnormality, and other complex conditions in the coccygeal region.
About CECT Coccyx
A CECT Coccyx is a step-up imaging test that utilizes X-ray, computer, and intravenous contrast dye to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the coccyx and nearby area. An improvement in soft tissue, inflammatory changes, abnormal growths, collections, and other abnormalities around the sacrococcygeal area are seen with contrast enhancement.
The scan offers comprehensive assessment of the coccyx and sacrum, sacrococcygeal joint, as well as surrounding muscle tissues, soft tissues, and the neighbouring structures. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-quality contrast-enhanced imaging is achieved for the full evaluation of often complex coccygeal conditions with advanced CT technology.
What is a CECT Coccyx?
CECT Coccyx is a non-invasive imaging of the coccyx using intravenous contrast. A special CT scan of the coccyx and surrounding tissues is used to obtain detailed images that help the doctor determine if there are abnormalities that need attention. This scan is often ordered to help assess a potential tumour, infection, inflammatory condition, soft tissue growth/inflammatory mass, collections, or an abnormal finding in the sacrococcygeal area.
Common Reasons for CECT Coccyx
- Persistent coccyx or lower back pain
- Evaluation of suspected tumours or masses
- Suspected infection of the coccyx or surrounding tissues
- Assessment of inflammatory conditions
- Evaluation of soft tissue abnormalities
- Assessment of collections or abscesses
- Evaluation of complex traumatic injuries
- Pre-operative surgical planning
- Follow-up after treatment or surgery

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting may be required before a CECT Coccyx scan because intravenous contrast is administered. Follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
- Drink adequate water before and after the examination, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
- Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes (especially if taking metformin), asthma, heart disease, thyroid disorders, or previous reactions to contrast media.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and remove belts, jewellery, metal accessories, or other metallic objects from the lower back and pelvic region before the examination.
- Inform your doctor about any history of coccyx or sacral injury, fracture, surgery, infection, tumour, abscess, inflammatory disease, or previous treatment involving the sacrococcygeal region.
- Carry previous X-rays, CT scans, MRI reports, ultrasound reports, biopsy reports, surgical records, or other relevant medical documents, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
- Inform the radiology team if you have difficulty lying on your back, remaining still, or maintaining the required position during the examination.
- Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully. You may be asked to hold your breath briefly during image acquisition when required to minimize motion artefacts.
- Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, preparation, IV cannulation, and contrast-related assessment.
