• and
• moving a seating element attached to the post element wherein the post and seating elements are moveable between a stowed position wherein the post and seating elements are substantially horizontal and located in the receptacle and a deployed position wherein the seating element is in-line with a patient's body axis and wherein the post element is substantially vertical and the seating element is substantially horizontal wherein the post element supports an end of the seating element to provide a cantilevered seating element sized to fit between the scanning device and the head end of the stretcher.
