How to CT scan human mummies: Theoretical considerations and examples of use

ConclusionsDownsizing the field of view to the region of interest as done in the clinical radiological routine represents one major tool to improve image quality.SignificanceThe provided recommendations should improve CT image quality in mummy studies as well as the handling of image data for reconstructions and storage.LimitationsThe recommendations for CT scanning parameters and image reconstructions were written with relatively new generation CT scanners in mind. Only a few examples of use were chosen and image quality assessment was performed subjectively and not by quantitative measurements.
