HIGH RESOLUTION LIVING BODY IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS USING TERAHERTZ ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE, METHOD OF FORMING HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGE AND ENDOSCOPIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a living body image-forming apparatus with high resolution using a teraherts electromagnetic wave, method of forming a high resolution image, and an endoscopic apparatus using them.

SOLUTION: The living body image-forming apparatus with high resolution irradiates a human body area to which a contrast agent has been applied with terahertz electromagnetic waves which have been excited by first laser beams, and third laser beams. Then, a high resolution image of the human body area can be formed on the basis of the terahertz electromagnetic waves and second layer beams which are reflected from the human body area.
