What is an X-Ray Sacrum Coccyx AP View?
An X-Ray Sacrum & Coccyx AP View is a diagnostic radiographic procedure that takes an anterior-posterior (front-to-back) radiograph of the coccyx and sacrum and assists in visualizing:
- Sacrum (Lower Spinal Base) – Differentiates fractures, misalignment, and bone deformities.
- Coccyx (Tailbone) – Evaluates cause of tailbone pain, dislocations, fractures, and etiology of coccyx pain.
- Sacroiliac Joints – Evaluates joint space and arthritis condition.
- Soft Tissue Structures & Swelling – Assists in checking for ligament injury, inflammation, or tumour.
This is a rapid, non-painful test that yields important diagnostic information for the assessment of sacral and coccygeal illness.
At Medifyhome, we partner with NABL-approved diagnostic centres to offer quality low-cost and accurate X-ray services for efficient diagnosis and treatment planning.
