The used procedure however, mammography, has many issues resulting in discomfort and pain for the patient, ergonomically incorrect postures for the radiographer and poor test results. A chair is designed that can improve mammography through a number of features: Automatic correct height setting through a balanced spring system. Stable breast positioning by making the client tilt 45 degrees instead of the instrument. Ergonomically correct positioning through convenient handles and spherical wheels.
