Why CT Works for Mummies
CT imaging reveals skeletal structure, soft tissue remnants, burial amulets, and embalming materials. It allows researchers to determine age, health, cause of death, and cultural practices without damaging fragile wrappings.

CT can detect jewelry, amulets, and tools placed within the wrappings, offering insights into burial rituals.
Preserving Cultural Heritage
Because CT is non destructive, it protects mummies while enabling detailed study.
