We used a robotic-based THz imaging system to investigate the sub-surface structure of an artificially mummified ancient Egyptian human left hand. The results obtained are compared to the results of a conventional CT and a micro-CT scan. Using such a robotic THz system promises new insights into the sub-surface structure of human remains. The depth resolution of the THz images exceeds the resolution of a conventional CT scan and is comparable with a micro-CT scan. The advantage of THz measurements over micro-CT scans is the fact that even comparatively large samples, like complete bodies, can be scanned. These would not fit into a conventional micro-CT scanner.
我们使用基于机器人的太赫兹成像系统来研究人工木乃伊化的古埃及人左手的亚表面结构。将获得的结果与常规 CT 和微 CT 扫描的结果进行了比较。使用这种机器人太赫兹系统有望为人类遗骸的亚表面结构提供新的见解。太赫兹图像的深度分辨率超过了常规 CT 扫描的分辨率，与微 CT 扫描相当。与微 CT 扫描相比，太赫兹测量的优势在于即使是相对较大的样本，如完整的尸体，也可以进行扫描。这些样本将无法放入常规的微 CT 扫描仪中。
