The mummy's skeletal remains, as seen through a cut section of the cartonnage. For the first time, mummy scientists can see images of the resin injected into the chest cavity for mummification, as well as four canopic packages (located between her legs), which contain her intestines, liver, stomach and lungs.

When scientists first got a look at images of the mummy's toes, they thought she must have had deformed feet. But experts later determined that they were likely damaged due to rough handling during the mummification process.

Scientists at the Stanford-NASA National Biocomputation Center and a team of dentists, orthodontists and oral surgeons determined the mummy's age and other features by studying 3-D visualization.

Scientists used software similar to that used to create animated movies to use color to differentiate bandages from the cartonnage.

Thanks to resin applied by the child's mummifiers and powerful new imaging technology, the child mummy's curls are clearly visible 2,000 years after her death.

Because the mummy child was approximately 4 years old, her adult teeth were beginning to grow in. Orthodontists said had she reached her teen years, her teeth would have been crowded.
