MR and CT acquisitions of an ancient Child Mummy were compared and combined to increase tissue differentiation.
Figure 1: Child
mummy in a custom-built Tx/Rx Birdcage coil with fast switching circuitry connected
to a clinical 3T MRI.
Figure 2: Direct
comparison of the child mummy head images between a) CT image (100 kV) and b) MR
image (TE=70 µs). Signal intensities were evaluated in the marked ROIs.
