Researchers conducted the scans with the hopes of gaining further knowledge about ancient funeral practices and the mummies' identities and causes of death.
North Shore University Hospital spokeswoman Michelle Pinto says the testing enables radiologists to learn about the skeletal systems of the mummies in extraordinary detail without having to do invasive or damaging procedures.
The mummies range in age from about 1,700 years old to more than 3,000 years old.
