A proper ergonomic chair is a vital tool for the radiologist

With constant advancements in imaging technology, the radiologist work is becoming increasingly sedentary, resulting in increases neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain. Often the reading room chair is ill fitting, non-supportive and not fit for purpose.

The PACS desk chair from KOS is the ideal solution for the radiologist as it can accommodate most shapes and sizes but more importantly offers easy movement and excellent support and common sense adjustments.

It incorporates a balanced rocking mechanism which can be adjusted to the user’s weight. This allows the chair to tilt forward and recline when required, without losing support, making it a truly ergonomic radiologist’s chair.

An adjustable neck rest facilitates excellent neck support and combined with the reclined position, is ideal for micro breaks and relaxation.

The lumbar support has height and depth adjustability which offers relief to back pain sufferers.

Armrests are adjustable in height width and depth and offer relief to shoulder tension

It’s important to create a proper radiology workspace. Radiology is unique in that computer usage is two to three times higher than that of most other industries. Many radiologists spend up to 12 hours sitting at a PACS workstation reading images. This can cause tension and undue stress. For work that requires users to remain seated for such long periods of time reading digital images and making important decisions, a supportive ergonomic PACS desk chair and ergonomic PACS workstation is essential to the radiologists, to ensure proper concentration and maintain health and wellbeing.
