Did that look like a DNA scan to you? A DNA scan is either a pattern of lines for a comparative analysis, like a fingerprint, or ultimately a nucleotide sequence. A DNA scan doesn't show you a shape of a person and their skeleton. In the first place depending on the environment, diseases, and nutrition, the same DNA could produce two different kind of human shapes and skeletons. We probably won't have the kind of technology before a distant future that it could instantly predict the adult shape of an individual organism simply from the DNA.

Let's just say this was a minor error in an otherwise excellent series. Nothing to worry about. Especially when what we actually saw (the x-ray scan) made perfect sense. The machine was x-ray (or similar), the filter was the human operating it! When you saw the x-ray of a living, normal looking person without a skull inside their head, you can say at least the head portion probably doesn't have human DNA.
