This is a surface reconstruction of a CT scan of a bendable ballerina doll. It's metal skeleton is clearly visualized in white. A notable feature is a mass located in the midline of the upper cranium. While exploratory surgery would be required to determine its actual significance, the shape and location is consistent with an air pocket introduced in the rubber during the manufacturing process. Similar masses are noted in the right palm and left wrist.
