title = "Engineering considerations for clinical translation of tissue water content mapping with THz radiation",
abstract = "Research into the application of THz frequency imaging to medical diagnostics has yielded a significant body of work reporting the properties of in vitro and ex vivo samples. However, there a dearth of in vivo imaging results owing to the practical difficulties of acquiring data of sufficient fidelity on living animal and/or human subjects. This limited data set has hindered widespread acceptance of THz medical imaging technology and the engineering challenges associated with in vivo imaging must be overcome prior to successful clinical translation. In this paper the application of THz imaging to burn severity assessment is discussed. Burn severity is used as a case study of key engineering challenges. Opportunities for RF sources, detectors, and receivers operating at THz frequencies to meet these challenges are discussed.",
