  • Abstract
    This research represents experimental use of a pulsed terahertz time-domain imaging system to obtain time of flight (in-depth) reflection scans from three-dimensional ex-vivo breast cancer tumor tissue. Image processing and volumetric techniques are performed on these THz scans to analyze and enhance the tumor image and assess its boundaries.
