SAN DIEGO (April 27, 2011) Tori Randall, Ph.D., curator for the Department of Physical Anthropology at the San Diego Museum of Man, prepares a 550-year-old Peruvian child mummy for a CT scan at Naval Medical Center San Diego. The medical centre is the only medical facility in San Diego County with a Flash Dual Source 128 CT scanner that is Dual Energy capable. This unique capability uses two different energy sources to differentiate characteristics in tissue and bone beyond conventional CT imaging.
