X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has a significant role as investigation tool not only in medical and industrial applications, but also in cultural heritage studies. One of the main reasons for such broad adoption of this method is its non-destructive capability to investigate the inner structure of precious and unique artefacts that would instead be damaged by traditional sampling procedures. Ordinary X-ray radiography is limited and gives only 2D images, while high-resolution X-ray CT imaging gives non-invasive access to three-dimensional (3D) information. This article focuses on the comparison of micro-CT results obtained from the analysis of two ancient Egyptian wooden statuettes representing offering bearers. The artefacts belong to the collection of the Museo Egizio of Torino as part of the funerary assemblage of Minhotep, discovered in the Asyut necropolis. For the analysis, an upgraded version of the X-ray imaging apparatus located in the Centro Conservazione e Restauro “La Venaria Reale” (CCR) was used, in order to reach a higher final resolution than the one already present and used at CCR. Thanks to this investigation, much information on the artistic technique was obtained and it was possible to highlight differences and similarities in the technical features of the two statuettes, acquiring elements to understand the specific contribution of micro-tomography in studying the finds and hypothesizing a common production method.

X 射线计算机断层扫描 (CT) 作为调查工具具有重要作用，不仅在医学和工业应用中，而且在文化遗产研究中。这种方法被广泛采用的主要原因之一是它能够无损地研究珍贵和独特的文物的内部结构，而这些文物会被传统的取样程序损坏。普通的 X 射线摄影受到限制，只能提供 2D 图像，而高分辨率 X 射线 CT 成像提供对三维 (3D) 信息的非侵入性访问。本文重点比较了对两尊代表供养人的古埃及木制小雕像的分析得到的显微CT结果。这些手工艺品属于都灵埃吉齐奥博物馆的收藏，是明霍特普葬礼的一部分，在 Asyut 墓地中发现。为了进行分析，使用了位于 Centro Conservazione e Resttauro “La Venaria Reale” (CCR) 的升级版 X 射线成像设备，以达到比 CCR 已经存在和使用的设备更高的最终分辨率。由于这项调查，获得了有关艺术技术的大量信息，并且可以突出两个小雕像技术特征的差异和相似之处，获取元素以了解显微断层扫描在研究发现中的具体贡献并假设共同点制作方法。为了达到比 CCR 已经存在和使用的更高的最终分辨率。由于这项调查，获得了有关艺术技术的大量信息，并且可以突出两个小雕像技术特征的差异和相似之处，获取元素以了解显微断层扫描在研究发现中的具体贡献并假设共同点制作方法。为了达到比 CCR 已经存在和使用的更高的最终分辨率。由于这项调查，获得了有关艺术技术的大量信息，并且可以突出两个小雕像技术特征的差异和相似之处，获取元素以了解显微断层扫描在研究发现中的具体贡献并假设共同点制作方法。
