Terahertz image processing methods for biomedical applications.
Terahertz imaging is in its early stages of development. Due to the sensitivity of terahertz radiation to biomolecules, several potential medical applications are being investigated. In this paper we present examples of our latest measurements of biological samples and explain how we extract frequency domain and time domain information from image data to probe sample structure and composition.
