Imaging of dehydrated objects is usually performed with
CT due to the low water content. With the development of
MR sequences with short or even zero echo times, MR is
also able to detect tissues with fast decaying signal
like bones or teeth. In this work the potential of the
ZTE technique has been evaluated on an ancient Egyptian
mummified fish and compared to other imaging modalities
like CT and Terahertz imaging.
