Radiologist replicates antique Stradivarius violin

Dr. Sirr, a radiologist, claims to have ‘replicated' the antique Stradivarius violin with three different copies, something that is made possible using an X-ray scanner that is normally seen in action to detect cancers and injuries. The US-based group relied on a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner on the 307-year-old instrument in order to uncover its secrets.
