- Description
- This paper highlights the prospect of design and development of a terahertz medical screening system, giving an overview of existing devices, systems, for THz spectroscopy and imaging of biological samples (e.g., cell, tissue imaging or screening). Considering the non-ionizing nature of THz waves along with its reasonable soft-tissue sensitivity, terahertz instrumentation has opened up possibilities for medical screening devices. Some THz imaging systems presently use raster scanning for calculation of image region of interest. Here, a particular system is proposed as a medical screening device and factors like signal-to-noise ratio, image resolution, image contrast, etc., have been described and correlated with relevant clinical results for exploring possible prospects in medical applications of terahertz waves. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
