Regarding “Bone Scans” for Tailbone Pain, Coccyx Pain… Someone recently asked me to explain the difference between a DEXA Scan and a Nuclear Medicine Bone Scan. DEXA: A dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, also called a bone density scan, is a common technique used to measure bone density. This test is basically done to […]

Pants’ Zippers Blocking View of the Coccyx on Tailbone X-rays Many radiology imaging centers have no idea how to properly perform x-rays of the coccyx for people who have tailbone pain (also called coccyx pain or coccydynia). Sometimes even the most basic problems occur. I have seen many, many patients over the years where the […] “STIR” images and “T2” images on MRI are essentially like filter settings where fluid shows up bright. Some amount of fluid is normal, since many of our body tissues contain significant fluid content (for example, our fat cells [adipose] have significant fluid content). Also, we of course have the fluid we call urine within […] Below are a couple of videos showing how standard x-rays are done at the coccyx (tailbone). These are sometimes done for patients who have coccyx pain (coccydynia, tailbone pain). In general, the best x-rays are the sitting-versus-standing x-rays, and you can read more about those here at this link: https://tailbonedoctor.com/sitting-versus-standing-coccyx-x-rays-for-tailbone-pain/ But unfortunately most radiology centers […] I have a great update regarding getting coccyx x-rays done in the United Kingdom. I have previously reported that in the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has radiology protocols that explicitly deny the usefulness of tailbone x-rays (coccyx radiographs, xrays) for patients suffering with tailbone pain (coccyx pain, coccydynia). See Link: Wrong-Minded Denials of […] Here’s an idea to help improve surgical outcomes when coccygectomy is done for coccydynia, coccyx pain, tailbone pain: Intraoperative X-rays During Coccygectomy, To Improve Surgical Outcomes for Coccydynia, Coccyx Pain, Tailbone Pain I wrote this up and submitted it to a medical journal called “Pediatric Surgery International” and they published it this past week. Over […] 
MRI Tips on How To See a Broken Tailbone, Coccyx Fracture. You Can See what the Radiologist Missed! Patrick Foye, M.D. discusses MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) showing of a Broken Coccyx, or Tailbone Fracture. MRI shows a Fractured Coccyx. Radiologists often FAIL to see these abnormalities! The actual VIDEO is at the bottom of this […] Apparently, in the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) has radiology protocols that explicitly deny the usefulness of tailbone x-rays (coccyx radiographs, xrays) for patients suffering with tailbone pain (coccyx pain, coccydynia). A person in the UK who suffers from tailbone pain sent me the following link: (As of Feb-11-2018, this PDF can be […] Tailbone pain is usually most painful while you are sitting, since sitting puts some of your body weight onto the tailbone (coccyx). Thus, it makes sense to do coccyx x-rays WHILE SITTING, since that is the most painful position. Coccyx x-rays are done while you is standing and then again while you are seated. […] Which Xray Views are Best for Evaluating Tailbone Pain, Coccyx Pain? I recently did a video explaining which views are best when doing x-rays (radiographs) for coccyx pain (tailbone pain). Here is the text from that video, and the actual video itself is down below. (The actual video is at the bottom of this page.) […] |
