Trends in Terahertz Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Terahertz radiation has drawn enormous attention in recent times due to its various application possibilities. This chapter reviews various emerging trends and well-established technologies in Terahertz biomedical. Due to its extraordinary sensing capabilities, non-invasive, non-ionizing properties, sensitive instrumentations for spectroscopy and imaging, Terahertz has found various biomedical sensing applications from biomolecules, proteins to cells and tissues. This chapter highlights terahertz device engineering, system technologies, range of materials, aiming at various biomedical applications. It also includes emerging topics such as terahertz biomedical imaging, pattern recognition and tomographic reconstruction by machine learning and artificial intelligence, for possible biomedical imaging applications.
