A new biosensor using terahertz (THz) waves can detect skin cancer with “exceptional” sensitivity, potentially paving the way for earlier and easier diagnoses, according to a study in the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. “Traditional methods for detecting skin cancer often involve expensive, time-consuming, CT, PET scans and invasive higher frequencies technologies,” explains study author Shohreh Nourinovin, PhD, […]
