"The child mummy entombed in glass on the third floor of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has kept a secret for more than two millenniums. Today, scientists and doctors will peek at what the little mummy has been hiding. 'It is a medical mystery,' said Tanya Lucio, a medical student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who is doing a research project on the mummy. 'We're hoping to be able to solve it.'
The mummy will undergo a computed tomography, or CT, scan at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh as part of the research that grew out of a Pitt class on the history of medicine, taught by museum curators. The scan will not be open to the public."
