The objective of our work was to report the most recent findings obtained with multidetector computed tomography of a child mummy from the Roman period (119-123 CE) housed at the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy.
Multidetector computed tomography and postprocessing were applied to understand the embalming techniques, the nature of a foreign object, and anthropometrical values. The information was compared with that from other mummies that were buried in the same tomb, but today housed in different museums.
New information regarding the embalming technique was revealed. Multidetector computed tomography allowed the identification of a knife-like metallic object, probably an amulet for the child's protection in the afterlife.
Multidetector computed tomography and image postprocessing confirm their valuable role in noninvasive studies in ancient mummies and provided evidence of a unique cultural practice in the late history of Ancient Egypt such as placing a knife possibly as an amulet.
我们的工作目的是报告对一具来自罗马时期（公元119 - 123年）的儿童木乃伊进行多探测器计算机断层扫描的最新结果，该木乃伊收藏于意大利都灵的埃及博物馆。
应用多探测器计算机断层扫描及后处理技术来了解防腐技术、异物的性质和人体测量值。将这些信息与埋葬在同一墓穴但如今收藏于不同博物馆的其他木乃伊的信息进行比较。
揭示了有关防腐技术的新信息。多探测器计算机断层扫描能够识别出一个刀状金属物体，可能是用于保护儿童来世的护身符。
多探测器计算机断层扫描和图像后处理证实了它们在古代木乃伊无创研究中的重要作用，并提供了古埃及晚期独特文化习俗的证据，比如放置一把刀可能作为护身符。
