One major impetus has been computed tomography (CT) technology, which produces two- and three-dimensional images of an object with computer-processed x-rays. Because these images can show both the interior and exterior architecture of an object, CT scanners can be extremely useful for non-destructive analyses of fossils and ancient remains, as well as living organisms and modern materi...
