The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a surgical probe that uses novel terahertz technology to guide surgical excision. As an example, approximately 3,000 breast cancer patients per year require a second surgical procedure because of tumour identified close to the edge of tissue removed during surgery. There is a clinical need for an accurate, real-time and non-destructive technique to assess tumour margins during surgery. This tool could also be used for any surgery that requires preservation of normal tissue.

本研究的目的是开发和评估一种使用新型太赫兹技术指导手术切除的手术探针。例如，每年约有3，000名乳腺癌患者需要进行第二次手术，因为在手术期间切除的组织边缘附近发现了肿瘤。临床上需要一种准确、实时和非破坏性的技术来评估手术过程中的肿瘤边缘。该工具也可用于任何需要保存正常组织的手术。
