太赫兹成像技术应用于烧伤检测的研究发展

Development of Terahertz Imaging Technology in the Assessment of Burn Injuries

因太赫兹(THz)波具有独特的性质和优势,逐渐在生物医学领域受到重视并得以应用。烧伤是临床上常见的一种外伤,由于THz的无损和对水敏感的特性,使得THz成像技术在烧伤检测方面具有广阔的应用前景。到目前为止,对烧伤创面的THz成像,已从离体研究发展到了在体成像,能够透过纱布及膏药获得高分辨的图像。本文主要介绍了THz成像技术在烧伤检测中的最新应用及发展。

Terahertz waves have unique properties and advantages,which makes it gain increasing attention and applications in the biomedical field.Burns is a common clinical trauma.Since the water-sensitive and non-destructive characteristics of terahertz,terahertz imaging techniques can be used to detect burns.So far,terahertz imaging technology in the assessment of burn injuries has been developed fromex vivo to in vivo,and high-resolution images can be obtained through the gauzes and plasters.In this paper,we mainly introduces the application of terahertz imaging technology and development in the assessment of burn injuries.
