CT Scanner
Thanks to CT scanning (computed tomography, often called a “CAT” scan) doctors can view a “slice” of the human body painlessly. Often used to diagnose life-threatening conditions and issues like cancer, blood clots, infections, lung and liver disease, head and spine injuries and internal bleeding, Union County Hospital includes CT scans among the variety of diagnostic tools we use to give patients of all ages a clear picture of illness and injury.
CT scans are performed on an outpatient basis, Monday through Friday , 8:00 am – 4:00 pm, and 24 hours a day for health emergencies.
