teraapiaseadmeteks
Teraapiaseadmeteks is a term used to describe a proposed class of medical devices that employ terahertz (THz) radiation for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The concept blends advances in terahertz technology with clinical device design, aiming to provide non-ionizing, non-invasive approaches for tissue interaction, imaging, and monitoring.
Etymology and scope: The name derives from the terahertz spectral region and the Estonian word for devices,
Principles and mechanism: THz radiation interacts with polar molecules and weakly absorbing tissue, offering potential spectroscopic
Development and status: Research on THz medical applications began in the late 20th century, with early prototypes
Applications and considerations: Potential uses include THz-based imaging for tissue characterization, surface diagnostics, and adjunctive therapy
