# Improved X-ray computed tomography reconstruction of the largest fragment of the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient Greek astronomical calculator

Ali Pakzad, Francesco Iacoviello, Andrew Ramsey et al., 2018. _PLoS ONE_.

Reprocesses the 2005 CT scan of Fragment A, corrects missing projections, shows the fragment did not move during scanning, and releases the full 3D volume (up to 32 GB) on the Harvard Dataverse (doi:10.7910/DVN/UCXZWU).
