Egyptian mummy remains were examined at Semmelweis University’s Medical Imaging Center (OKK). The archeological finds arriving from the Semmelweis Museum of Medical History, Hungarian National Museum Public Collection Centre (MNMKK) were analyzed using the institution’s newest CT scanner equipped with a photon-counting detector. Thanks to state-of-the-art imaging technology, highly detailed images have been captured that were previously unavailable, and the initial results promise significant scientific advances.
