Release date: 2014-05-30

According to foreign media reports, Egyptian paleontologists have been using medical imaging technology to study mummies. So far, some amazing discoveries have been made. Medical imaging technology is generally used to examine the patient's body and to view internal organs through the skin. Diseases, etc., this technology brings the gospel to patients, but also allows archaeologists to obtain a lot of valuable information. One example is the investigation of mummies. Scientists use CT scans to perform tomographic imaging of mummies preserved in the British Museum. And unveiled the mystery behind the mummies.

The picture shows the mummy image after CT scan, and gives some 3D imaging technology, using the rendering software that is very common in the automotive industry to enhance the sharpness of the image, so that the inside of the mummies can be seen from the outside. Visitors can also observe the production process of mummies by observing the imaging of 3D CT scanning technology. The museum also allows visitors to “contact” the mummies through three-dimensional imaging technology, and uncover the mysteries inside the mummies through a series of interactive links.

CT scanning is currently a key technology in the research, not only can see the layout of the interior of the mummies, but also the daily life of the ancient Egyptians, such as this mummies is a woman, her bones and external structure reflect She had to face tremendous pressure when she was alive, with an abscess at the chin, and signs that she might have cardiovascular problems because archaeologists found plaques near the arteries. According to the latest research, this is not a question of diet and sedentary, but the result of excessive endurance exercise, which is a physiological extreme labor.

The tomographic scan also showed the mummy's production process. The archaeologist saw a clear incision in the abdomen of the corpse. This shows that the mummy's production process will cut the abdomen, dig the internal organs from the incision, and then fill in the preservative. Seal the wax at a certain temperature, and the mummified eyes will be dug out and replaced with some anti-corrosive materials. The mummies were produced about 3,000 years ago, and there are also seven mummies on display. They are of different ages and have different social status in the world. These mummies help scientists restore the ancient Egyptian society at that time.
