APPARATUS FOR IMAGING HUMAN BODY USING TERAHERTZ ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE AND ENDOSCOPE USING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus for imaging a human body and an endoscope device using the same are provided to easily diagnose a digestive cancer by using a sensitive terahertz electromagnetic wave in water. A first laser beam delivery part(110a) delivers a first laser beam to a generation part(140). The generation part radiates a terahertz electromagnetic wave excited by the first laser beam to a human body. A second laser beam delivery part(110b) delivers a second laser beam to a detection part(160). The detection part generates an electric signal for imaging based on the terahertz electromagnetic wave reflected from the second laser beam and the human body. An image generation part(190) receives an electric signal for imaging, and generates an image. The first laser beam delivery part and the second laser beam delivery part include an optical fiber.
