Why CT Works for Metal Artifacts
Ancient metal objects often hide internal corrosion, repairs, or composite construction. CT imaging reveals alloy density, casting techniques, and hidden inclusions.
Detecting Hidden Repairs
CT exposes density differences caused by solder, filler, or replaced components.
Preserving Artifact Integrity
Researchers can study artifacts without polishing or cutting them.
A Key Tool in Cultural Heritage
Museums rely on CT to authenticate and preserve ancient metalwork.
