In the context of a joint Mummy Research Project of the National Archaeological Museum, the Hellenic Institute of Egyptology and the Athens Medical Centre, an Egyptian mummy of the mid-Ptolemaic Period was transferred to our hospital and was thoroughly investigated with Computed Tomography.
The mummy was carefully removed from its coffin and scanned in a 64-detector row computed tomographic scanner. Multiplanar and anthropometric measurements were obtained using advanced software.
The mummy appeared to be well-preserved and belonged to a young male adult. Among the findings, the most interesting and uncommon one was the asymmetry of the maxillary sinuses and the orbits. There were no signs of trauma.
Computed Tomography revealed in a non-destructive way a rare, based on the published data, facial deformity in an Egyptian mummy attributed to chronic maxillary atelectasis.
在国家考古博物馆、希腊埃及学研究所和雅典医疗中心联合开展的木乃伊研究项目背景下,一具托勒密中期的埃及木乃伊被转移至我院,并通过计算机断层扫描进行了全面检查。
将木乃伊小心地从棺椁中取出,在一台64排探测器的计算机断层扫描仪中进行扫描。使用先进软件进行多平面和人体测量。
这具木乃伊保存完好,属于一名年轻成年男性。在检查结果中,最有趣且不常见的是上颌窦和眼眶不对称。没有外伤迹象。
根据已发表的数据,计算机断层扫描以非破坏性方式揭示了这具埃及木乃伊中由慢性上颌肺不张导致的罕见面部畸形。
