Charleston Coroner Uses CT Scanner to Revolutionize Autopsies | Charleston News

Published 4 days, 5 hours ago
Description

Charleston County’s Coroner’s Office just got a game-changing tool: a $250K CT scanner funded by federal grants, now the only one of its kind in South Carolina—and it’s revolutionizing death investigations. No more invasive autopsies to start—just high-res scans revealing injuries, bullets, and more, all while slashing costs from $1,800 per autopsy to a fraction. Already used on 20 bodies, the tech’s saving taxpayers money and giving grieving families faster, more transparent answers—with plans to train local pathologists to read scans in-house, making investigations even more efficient and affordable.
