Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz( THz) imaging to visualise cochlear structures in mice, offering non-invasive, high-resolution diagnostics. By creating 3D reconstructions, this technology opens new possibilities for diagnosing hearing loss and other conditions. THz imaging could lead to miniaturised devices, such as THz endoscopes and otoscopes, revolutionising diagnostics for hearing loss, cancer and more. With the potential to enhance diagnostic speed, accuracy and patient outcomes, THz imaging could transform medical practice.
