Three-dimensional evaluation of the coccyx movement between supine and standing positions using conventional and upright computed tomography imaging

Abstract Currently, no three-dimensional reference data exist for the normal coccyx in the standing position on computed tomography (CT); however, this information could have utility for evaluating patients with coccydynia and pelvic floor dysfunction. Thus, we aimed to compare coccygeal parameters...
