Coccyx (AP view)

Changed by Andrew Murphy, 3 Jul 2017
Back to revision history

Updates to Article Attributes

Body was changed:

The coccyx AP view is used to demonstrate the coccyx, in conjunction with the sacrum and coccyx (lateral view). Follow;Follow departmental protocol in relation to imaging this region. 

Patient position

  • the radiograph is performed with the patient in a supine position, with arms placed comfortably by their side, legs extended 1

Technical factors

  • AP view
  • centring point
    • 5 cm superior to the pubic symphysis at the MSP 1
  • central ray
    • angled 10 degrees caudal 1
  • collimation
    • must adhere to the ALARA principle given the region exposed via the primary beam
    • close collimation to the area of interest
  • orientation
    • portrait 
  • detector size
    • 24x30 cm 
  • exposure
    • 80 kVp
    • 15 mAs 
  • SID
    • 110 cm
  • grid
    • yes

Image technical evaluation

  • adequate penetration should clearly demonstrate the coccyx region
  • the coccyx is free of superimposition from the pubic rami
  • lateral margin of the coccyx is equidistant from the pelvic brim indicating no patient rotation

Practical points

  • given the proximity of this anatomy to the gonadal region, risk versus  benefit of ionising radiation and diagnostic value should be considered before imaging occurs 2
  • if imaging is required, the urinary bladder and large colon should be emptied before this examination to minimise superimposition of structures over the coccyx region 1
