When you get an mri of the sipnal cord, does that include the tail bone or coccyx?

Usually not or never: If the problem is in the sacrum or coccyx the MRI would have to be ordered of that specific area.

Not typically: A lumbar spine mr does not typically include the sacrum and coccyx. You need to have a specific MRI of the anatomy of concern.
