The CT scan revealed that her sinuses were fine, but she had a brain aneurysm located behind her ear. When she consulted a neurosurgeon, he immediately scheduled her for surgery because she was, as he told her, "a walking time bomb. This sort of aneurysm...

The process produced virtual slices just 0.39 mm (about 0.02 in.) thick - "much more detailed than the ones made of King Tut's mummy," says Owsley. The slices were then digitally recombined into 3-D computer images that were used to make exact copies out of plastic. The replica of the skull has already enabled scientists...
