Real time THz imaging—opportunities and challenges for skin cancer detection

It was first suggested that terahertz imaging has the potential to detect skin cancer twenty years ago. Since then, THz instrumentation has improved significantly: real time broadband THz imaging is now possible and robust protocols for measuring living subjects have been developed. Here, we discuss...

Summary:It was first suggested that terahertz imaging has the potential to detect skin cancer twenty years ago. Since then, THz instrumentation has improved significantly: real time broadband THz imaging is now possible and robust protocols for measuring living subjects have been developed. Here, we discuss the progress that has been made as well as highlight the remaining challenges for applying THz imaging to skin cancer detection.
