The high-quality digital X-rays we are able to create offer a comprehensive view of the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone) from both the front and back, enabling us to identify fractures, dislocations, any degenerative changes, congenital abnormalities, and other problems that affect the bottom of the spine. Our well-qualified radiologists provide the most efficient imaging with minimum exposure to radiation ranging to prompt and accurate reporting for proper diagnosis and the implementation of an effective treatment plan.
About X-Ray Sacrococcygeal Spine AP & Lateral Views
A Sacrococcygeal Spine AP & Lateral View is a specialized study of the X-ray of the sacrum and coccyx, which consists of two views: AP (anteroposterior) and Lateral. A combination of these two perspectives will give a full picture of the alignment, structure, and integrity of the bones at the base of the spine. Advanced systems of digital radiography produce high-resolution images, enabling reliable diagnosis of sacrococcygeal disorders at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
What is an X-Ray Sacrococcygeal Spine AP & Lateral Views?
X-ray Sacrococcygeal Spine AP & Lateral Views is an imaging procedure that evaluates the sacrum and coccyx from several different angles and is quick, non-invasive, and painless. It assists in the detection of abnormalities in the lower spine and pelvic region such as fractures, dislocated joints, arthritis, tumors, and infections. This examination will be more thorough than taking a single view on an X-ray and is regularly ordered following trauma or cases of persistent TPI.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Sacrococcygeal Spine AP & Lateral Views
Tailbone (coccyx) pain
Lower back or sacral pain
Injury after a fall or direct trauma
Suspected fracture of the sacrum or coccyx
Difficulty sitting due to tailbone pain
Evaluation of congenital abnormalities
Follow-up after treatment or surgery
Investigation of chronic pelvic pain
Conditions Evaluated
Sacral and Coccygeal Fractures
Detects fractures involving the sacrum or coccyx following trauma.
Coccygeal Dislocation
Evaluates displacement or abnormal alignment of the tailbone.
Degenerative Changes
Assesses arthritis and age-related changes affecting the sacrococcygeal joints.
Congenital Abnormalities
Identifies developmental abnormalities involving the sacrum or coccyx.
Bone Lesions and Infections
Helps detect cysts, tumors, infections, or other bone abnormalities.
Post-Traumatic Changes
Monitors healing following fractures, dislocations, or surgical treatment.
Who Should Consider This X-Ray?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have persistent tailbone pain
Have fallen on your buttocks or lower back
Experience pain while sitting or standing
Have suspected sacral or coccygeal fractures
Need follow-up imaging after treatment
Require evaluation before orthopedic consultation

Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 04 hours*
No fasting is usually required unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid garments with metal buttons, zippers, belts, or accessories around the lower back and pelvic region.
You may be asked to remove jewellery, belts, wallets, or any metallic objects before the examination.
Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, as X-rays involve ionising radiation.
Carry all previous X-ray, CT, MRI, or relevant imaging reports along with your doctor's referral for comparison.
Continue taking your prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
Inform the radiographer about any recent lower back injury, spinal surgery, pelvic surgery, or implanted medical devices.
If you have severe tailbone pain or difficulty standing or changing positions, inform the staff before the examination.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
सामान्यतः इस जांच के लिए फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है, जब तक डॉक्टर विशेष निर्देश न दें।
ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं। कमर और श्रोणि (पेल्विक) क्षेत्र के आसपास धातु वाले बटन, ज़िप, बेल्ट या आभूषण न पहनें।
जांच से पहले बेल्ट, आभूषण, पर्स या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटाने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को अवश्य बताएं।
अपनी सभी पुरानी एक्स-रे, सीटी, एमआरआई तथा संबंधित जांच रिपोर्टें और डॉक्टर का रेफरल साथ लेकर आएं।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ लेते रहें।
यदि हाल ही में कमर, श्रोणि या रीढ़ की सर्जरी, चोट या कोई मेडिकल इम्प्लांट हुआ हो, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
यदि आपको टेलबोन (पूंछ की हड्डी) में अधिक दर्द है या खड़े होने अथवा करवट बदलने में कठिनाई होती है, तो जांच से पहले स्टाफ को अवश्य बताएं।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned standing or lying on the X-ray table, depending on the radiologist's instructions and clinical condition.
An Anteroposterior (AP) view is first obtained to evaluate the sacrum, coccyx, pelvic alignment, and surrounding bony structures.
A Lateral View is then taken to assess the alignment of the sacrum and coccyx and identify fractures, dislocations, or degenerative changes.
You may be asked to remain still and hold your breath briefly while each X-ray image is captured.
Additional views may be obtained if required by the radiologist for a more detailed assessment.
The examination is quick, painless, non-invasive, and usually does not require contrast material.
The procedure generally takes 10–15 minutes.
Reports are usually available within 04 hours.
The film of the X-ray is usually provided within 30 minutes of the scan.
