Abstract

The terahertz radiation has very low photon energy and it does not create any ionization hazard for biological systems. It is strongly attenuated by water and very sensitive to water content. Unique absorption spectra due to intermolecular vibrations in this region have been found in different biological materials. Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for characterization of a great many bio molecules and tissues. The unique features of THz make terahertz imaging very attractive for medical applications over the existing imaging techniques. The interest in terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of biologically related applications increasing more and more within the last few years. This paper provides a short review of terahertz spectroscopy in bio systems and recent advances in terahertz spectroscopy techniques in biomedical applications.
