OPTICAL AND SYSTEM DESIGN FOR THZ MEDICAL IMAGING USING SPATIALLY RESOLVED HYDRATION MAPPING| Session Chairs: | Kodo Kawase, Joo-Hiuk Son |
Applications of millimeter and THz waves are expected to become common in daily lives in the near future. There have been suggestion of non-thermal effects of those waves but few data have been obtained so far. This session will deal with interaction of millimeter and THz waves with biological systems. The scope includes theoretical and experimental studies for both hazard identification and medical applications. Basic researches are also welcome such as electric constant measurement in frequency region of those waves.
