Our expert radiologists provide top-class imaging in a safe and radiation-efficient manner, while also delivering timely reports to facilitate accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.

About X-Ray Coccyx Lateral View

X-ray Coccyx Lateral View is a type of X-ray that provides a lateral radiograph (side view) of the coccyx (also called Coccyx X-ray), which is the small, triangular-shaped bone at the lower end of the back. The lateral projection is very useful for visualizing the alignment, curvature, and relationship of the coccyx to the sacrum and gives excellent visualization for fractures and dislocations. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we utilize cutting-edge digital radiography systems to produce high-resolution images that enable a precise evaluation of coccygeal injuries and disorders.

What is an X-Ray Coccyx Lateral View?

An X-Ray Coccyx Side View is a very fast, painless, non-invasive imaging test to evaluate the tailbone from a side view. It can reveal fractures, abnormal angulation, dislocations, degenerative changes, and other abnormalities that can lead to pain or discomfort. This test is frequently ordered when pain from the tailbone is not gone after an injury or after sitting too long.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray Coccyx Lateral View

  • Tailbone pain (coccydynia)
  • Fall directly onto the buttocks
  • Suspected coccyx fracture
  • Coccyx dislocation
  • Pain while sitting
  • Lower back or pelvic trauma
  • Follow-up after coccygeal injury or surgery
  • Assessment of chronic coccygeal pain

Conditions Evaluated

Coccyx Fractures

Detects fractures involving the tailbone following trauma or falls.

Coccyx Dislocation

Evaluates displacement or abnormal alignment of the coccyx.

Degenerative Changes

Assesses age-related changes affecting the coccyx and sacrococcygeal joint.

Congenital Abnormalities

Identifies developmental variations in the shape or alignment of the coccyx.

Bone Lesions

Helps detect cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities affecting the tailbone.

Post-Traumatic Changes

Monitors healing after coccygeal fractures or other injuries.
