An X-ray Sacrococcygeal Spine Lateral View is a specialized X-ray view that shows a profile, or side-on view, of the sacrum and coccyx. From this position, doctors can examine the anatomical position, curvature, and structural integrity of the tailbone and lower back, particularly when examining cases of trauma and chronic coccygeal pain. Molecular DiagnosticsWhat is an X-Ray Sacrococcygeal Spine Lateral View? and Therapy takes the utmost advantage of high-resolution digital radiography systems to provide the best diagnosis of any problem involving the sacrum or tailbone.

 

X-Ray Sacrococcygeal Spine Lateral View is an image test that looks at the back of the sacrum and coccyx from the side; it is fast, painless, and non-invasive. It aids in the detection of fractures, dislocations, abnormal curves, degenerative changes, and more in the low spine and pelvic region. This view is typically taken in conjunction with an AP view to get a more complete picture.
