Powerful scannertechnologie, in combination with advanced image adaptation of Silicon Graphics, has on to hit a 2,000 years old mummy ontrafeld without so much asof the old windsels.

Silicon Graphics (SGI) has on base of 6,000 advanced radiological, 'flattened' scans the most detailed 3D-models of a mummy put together. SGI says that there world-wide no more accurate models available are.

The business worked Hid together with the Stanford University or to pull Medicine and the Stanford-NASA National Biocomputation Center conclusions about the life of the mummified girl, was died that between the 4.5 and 5.5 years old then it.

The girl, that by her curators at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose soothing 'Sherit' (little one, reason.) named becomes, will according to physicians at a many appearance inwendige disorder be passed away. In Egypt became 2,000 years ago only the half of all children more older than five year.

The scans on which SGI the models based, were made with a Siemens AXIOM, a so-called CT-scanner of which it world-wide only five existence. The scans its of high resolution, but became through SGI with software of a German business works with ray-tracing-Technology, that a lifelike lichtval simulates.

The 3D-model of this mummy is 92 GB large. By a similar adaptation of Toetanchamons mummy years ago 35 turns less information was collected. Also Sherit appeared about a golden dead mask to see to, something that previously only through removal of the windsels would be fixed to put.

The knowledge that has been gained with the 2,000 years old Sherit will men in dze time help, expect physicians. “Real anatomy consists in three dimensions. Each turn as your anatomical data in three dimensions can see, can form you you a better image of your patint”, according to dentist Paul Brown.

It is the expectation that dentists, orthodontisten, surgeons and other medical specialists in the near future much often will fall back on 3D-models in high resolution, before till a diagnosis to come.
