J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1987 Jul-Aug;11(4):745-7. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198707000-00044.

Abstract

The use of CT in the documentation of ancient Egyptian mummified human remains has previously been described in this and other journals. We recently applied this technique to a collection of ancient Egyptian mummified fauna and sarcophagi. We selected an example to illustrate that CT is also uniquely suitable for the study of such specimens in a noninvasive way.
