Abstract
A patient treatment table for prone patient breast examination and treatment is described. The table may be in the form of a table base and table extension, the table extension being removably attached to the table base. The patient treatment table extension includes one or more hand rails for grasping by the patient above and along one or both longitudinal sides of the device to assist the patient in getting onto the treatment table. The handrails are mounted such that they can be removed or swung out of the way of medical equipment once the patient is positioned on the table. The table may also be in the form of a couch-top overlay.
