Abstract :
THz-wave is a viable tool for water content measurement due to its highly sensitivity to water. We analyzed the measurement errors of water volume concentration. The chosen basis for sample thickness and measuring frequency were presented theoretically. Measurements of water mapping and concentration in different tissues were experimentally investigated using THz-wave parametric source.
