  • Abstract
    Terahertz time domain spectroscopy has been used to characterize various tissues in biomedical research to date. In this paper the terahertz properties of three groups of rat skin tissues treated with different injections (normal saline control, high dose of Dotarem, and high dose of Omniscan) are measured. The difference in terahertz properties of the tissues can be clearly observed from the results.
