The scans were made in 1996, when Michael Jackson decided he wanted to make a virtual reality double of himself.
Now experts say that the 3D images could be used to make the singer perform once more.
The images were discovered when an American businessman tried to sell the scans for £1 million.
“The data has been in our archives and vault since then,” he said.
"The thing about this data is it immortalised him at the age of 37, before his nose was disfigured and when he was in the prime of life.”
Certainly the appetite for seeing the singer perform has not abated since his death on June 25.
The film of Jackson rehearsing for his comeback tour, This Is It, took £61 million worldwide at the box office in the first five days and a DVD is due to be released shortly.
It is already the second biggest documentary of all time, after Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and beats In Bed With Madonna to claim the crown as the UK's biggest ever concert movie.
Kenny Ortega, the director of Jackson's tour, said that the showman was also talking about making a full-length 3D film of Thriller before he passed away.
