alternative to conventional methods for inner ear diagnostics.
The findings of this study open the door to significant advancements in medical imaging. The proposed THz imaging technique could be developed into miniaturised devices, such as THz endoscopes and otoscopes, enabling non-invasive, in vivo imaging for cochlear diagnostics, dermatology and early cancer detection.“ The integration of THz technology with existing medical devices, such as endoscopes, holds great potential for revolutionising the way diseases are diagnosed, particularly in oncology and pathology,” said Serita. Additionally,“ THz technology could significantly enhance the speed and accuracy of pathological diagnoses, reducing the time between testing and results and ultimately improving patient outcomes,” he adds.
By demonstrating the potential of THz imaging for visualising the cochlea through near-field imaging and 3D reconstruction, this study explores its possible applications in biomedical diagnostics. With its non-invasive, high-resolution capabilities, THz technology may offer a useful approach for medical imaging and analysis. �
