| A CT Scan is an x-ray that looks at a slice through an object; it gives
us a more detailed look inside an object than a regular x-ray.
Early one winter morning in 1995 the Michael C. Carlos Museum mummy
had an appointment for a CT Scan. Museum staff prepared the mummy so
that it wouldn't be damaged when it traveled outside the Museum. In
the photo above, on the left, they are loading it into a van to take
it to Emory University Hospital.
Then, on the right, a CT Scan technician placed the mummy inside the
machine and numerous images were made.
