 | | Lisa Schwappach-Shirriff (left), curator of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, and Rebecca Fahrig, associate professor of radiology, peer down the hollow of an AXIOM Siemens CT scanner, where more than 60,000 images of the child mummy were obtained in May without disturbing its fragile remains. |
