基于一个室温工作的太赫兹光纤扫描近场成像系统，我们展示了太赫兹成像诊断人类肝癌的能力。通过THz近场对肝组织吸收常数的映射，获得的图像可以快速、自动、准确地区分癌组织和正常组织，无需病理H&E染色检查。因此，所研究的太赫兹成像系统在临床癌症诊断中具有潜在的应用价值。在太赫兹成像的帮助下，我们可以期望节省医院和人力资源的使用。
Based on a room-temperature-operated THz fiber-scanning near-field imaging system, we demonstrate the capability of THz imaging for diagnosing human liver cancer. By THz near-field mapping of the absorption constants of liver tissues, the acquired images can clearly distinguish cancer from normal tissues fast, automatically, and correctly without pathological H&E staining examination. Accordingly, the studied THz imaging system has valuable potential applications in clinical cancer diagnosis. With the help of THz imaging, we can expect to economize the use of hospital and human resources.
