This first report of the application of computed tomography (CT) to the study of ancient mummies, the desiccated brain of a boy and the body of a young woman within her cartonnage, shows that CT is uniquely suitable for the study of such antiquities, a study that does not necessitate destruction of the mummy or its cartonnage. Exquisite images result that are of great paleoanatomical, paleopathological, and archeological significance.
这是关于计算机断层扫描（CT）应用于古代木乃伊研究的首份报告，此次研究对象是一名男孩的脱水大脑以及置于其纸莎草棺中的年轻女子遗体，研究表明CT特别适用于此类文物研究，且该研究无需破坏木乃伊或其棺椁。由此得到的精美图像具有重大的古解剖学、古病理学及考古学意义。
