Abstract

The use of Terahertz Pulse Imaging (TPI for the analysis of skin cancer has been investigated. Our initial experiments have focused on the analysis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer. BCC seldom metastasize but can be locally very invasive. The current diagnosis of carcinomas is by visual examination, where suspicious lesions require biopsy and subsequent histological diagnosis, which is painful, time consuming and may require additional tissue removal.
