Radiologic technology
-
In the past, radiographic studies of mummies relied on relatively high kilovoltage techniques with intensifying screens. This article discusses mummy radiographs produced using a low kilovoltage technique and a nonscreen film holder. The author compares images of a single mummy produced with both techniques, demonstrating that the low kilovoltage, nonscreen technique reveals soft tissue structures and the materials used to cover the mummy in greater detail.
