- *Background
- Endoscopy is aminimally invasive diagnostic medical procedure that uses an endoscope, amedical device that consists of a long thin flexible tube, to examine theinterior surfaces of an organ or tissue without surgery. Besides conventionalendoscopy, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) andpositron emission tomography (PET) are current diagnostic imaging modalitiesfor the detection of local and distant relapse of cancers. All currentlyexisting solutions have a number of limitations including the limited detectionof small tumors, high costs, and poor resolution of tumors that are notmetabolically active. A terahertz (THz)endoscope system, developed by UML researchers, can alleviate many of theselimitations for the examination and detection of cancerous or precancerousregions of biological tissue.
