Book your X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View from a top Radiology & Pathology center. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostics Centre offering the best possible solution. Our Digital X-ray allows for top-quality images of the LAT (front-to-back) view of the sacrum (base and back of the pelvis), which helps the physician examine lower spine and pelvic abnormalities such as fractures, congenital abnormalities, degenerative changes, and much more. Our skilled radiologists utilize equipment for imaging with the highest resolution possible, using minimal radiation exposure, and deliver an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan through timely reporting.
About X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View
X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View is a special type of digital X-ray that takes a side (lateral) view of the sacrum (this triangular bone at the bottom of the spine at the back between the Lumbosacral (L5) vertebrae and the coccyx (tail bone). This side view clearly shows the sacral vertebrae, the sacrococcygeal junction, the lower lumbar spine, and other bony structures. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, our patient receives high-quality diagnostic images using the latest digital radiography technology, and our doctors use them to properly diagnose sacral injuries and spine disorders.
What is an X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View?
The X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View is a rapid, sophisticated, and non-invasive imaging procedure for a lateral view of the sacrum, administered from the side. Useful for detecting fractures or degenerative changes, congenital abnormalities, infections, tumors, and alignment problems in the lower back and pelvis. The exam is often ordered for people who have pain in the lower back, trauma to the pelvis, pain from the tailbone, and/or possible sacral issues.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Sacrum Lateral View
- Lower back or sacral pain
- Injury following a fall or accident
- Suspected sacral fracture
- Tailbone (coccyx) pain
- Difficulty sitting due to pain
- Evaluation of congenital spinal abnormalities
- Assessment of degenerative spinal changes
- Follow-up after fracture treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Sacral Fractures
Detects fractures involving the sacrum resulting from trauma or stress injuries.
Degenerative Changes
Assesses age-related degeneration affecting the sacrum and adjacent spinal structures.
Sacrococcygeal Abnormalities
Evaluates the alignment and condition of the sacrum and coccyx.
Bone Lesions
Helps identify bone cysts, tumors, infections, or other abnormalities affecting the sacrum.
Congenital Abnormalities
Evaluates developmental defects involving the sacrum and lower spine.
Post-Traumatic and Post-Surgical Changes
Monitors healing after fractures, orthopedic procedures, or spinal surgery.
