Crosshouse makes breast patients comfortable

With an Akurus mammography chair are lead mammographer Angela Donnelly, specialist mammographers Gail Dean and Louise Boylan, superintendent radiographer Allison Nokes and specialist radiographers Alison Shaw and Irene Canning.

Ayrshire’s University Hospital Crosshouse has taken delivery of a chair designed for comfortable transport and positioning of patients during mammography screenings. The Akurus chair from Wolverson X-ray Limited is mobile in all directions and has motorised height adjustment.

Lead mammographer Angela Donnelly said: “We are delighted with the equipment because patients find the chair extremely comfortable and mammographers can position patients easily due to the manoeuvrability and lightness of the chair.”
