Abstract
We set up the terahertz continuous reflectometry imaging system and the spatial resolution of our system was roughly 0.6×0.6mm at 2.52 THz. We also demonstrated that the paraffin embedded traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rat model sample can be differentiated clearly. The results show that the THz reflection intensity of the TBI area was lower than that of normal area. These promising results suggest that THz reflection imaging has great potential as an alternative method for the fast diagnosis of TBI.
