Clinical specialist Viv Milnes, Hologic breast health sales specialist John McMahon, mammographers Eden Manuel and Susana Leonardo, trainee mammographer Brooke Herbert and breast care nurse Janet Sedgewick.
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has celebrated the first anniversary of the arrival of its Hologic MultiCare Platinum prone stereotactic biopsy equipment.
Clinical specialist in the breast radiology department Viv Milnes said: “Due to the system’s ability to deal with small microcalcifications, the MultiCare unit is used most days. Our mammography staff find the equipment reliable and easy to use. Patients find that the additional Maximum Comfort Package, with a collection of ergonomically designed cushions, enables a difficult examination to be accomplished with the minimum amount of discomfort. Cushions provide targeted pressure point support for all body types.”
