Remember the Pa-Ib (pronounced pie-eeeb) mummy -- also known as "Ipy's mummy" -- on which researchers used 64-slice CT imaging to uncover its secrets? It now has its own documentary.
Produced by the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT, the 30-minute documentary, titled "Uncovering the Secrets of an Egyptian Mummy and Coffin: The Quest to Restore Personhood," gives an in-depth look at the mummy's history.
The Barnum Museum has released a documentary on the history of a mummy on which researchers used CT imaging.

The museum said these scans provided the necessary data for facial reconstruction.
The documentary can be found on the Barnum Museum's YouTube page.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
