3,000-year-old Egyptian mummies 'virtually unwrapped'
Egyptian mummies up to 3,000 years old have been virtually unwrapped for the first time in a joint British-Australian exhibition. A dual-energy computed tomography (CT) scanner was used to obtain thousands of image slices of the mummies, with volumetric software then used to create 3D visualisations. One scan revealed a priest's daughter from about 900BC with plaque in her arteries.
