Radiologists virtually unwrap mummy’s secrets

FIGURE. A computed tomography scan of Hetep-Bastet, an Egyptian mummy, was performed at The University of Ottawa Heart Institute on Nov. 18, 2008. Radiologists donated their time, and the scan took place after regular hours as to not disturb patient scans. Scanning is a nondestructive way to study ancient remains.
