  • Abstract
    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common form of arthritis caused by the breakdown of cartilage. A non-destructive approach is needed for quantitative diagnosis of OA. Here, we demonstrate how terahertz image data can be processed to reveal structural information about sample containing OA.
