CT scan of the Champollion Museum's mummy!

During the 12 of October, the MAÂT3D team CT scanned the egyptian mummy of the Champollion Museum at Figeac, France. With a hight precision acquisition (0.3 mm thickness) on all the mummy (1650 mm tall), we have acquired more than 8000 slices images. We also scanned 2 animal mummies (a fishcat and a bird) at a 0.3 mm thickness. Our team is working on the 3D reconstructions right now, so, more infos soon!

MAÂT3D approuved by the NLM and the NIH

The Visible Human Project

The MAÂT3D team is now approuved by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institute for Health (NIH) to use the Visible Human Datasets. These datasets are actually the most accurate slices datas about the human body (both male and female). This authorization will permit us to make the most accurate 3D reconstructions of the human body and to test our last large processing datas systems.
