T-rays: New imaging technology spotlighted by American Chemical Society
...welve speakers introduced analytic applications of terahertz spectroscopy to the analytical chemistry community. T-rays are based on the terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is between infrared light and microwave radiation....Terahertz imaging may reduce breast cancer surgeries
