I track the Healthcare sector. During one of my thousand searches I came across an interesting picture, that I thought is worth sharing. See the picture.
Guess who is being scanned. Source: HES website
The person being CT scanned is dead and 2,500 years old. Interesting isn’t it. The corpse is an Egyptian mummy which was being examined by radiologists of City University, London. The finding that came out was that the mummy had a “post-mortem fracture of the left thigh bone but her brain was intact and had been left in her body”.
The university intends to “scan historical artefacts such as medieval daggers found embedded in centuries of River Thames mud and a Roman cremation urn too fragile to open”.
