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).

Some of the soft tissue structures that show up clearly on MRI include: abscess (which […] MRI and CT scans take images similar to taking a series of slices.
