| Core Tip |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Currently, the most accuracy diagnosis imaging modality for HCC is magnetic resonance imaging, however, it is still difficult to distinguish cirrhosis lesions at some point. THz might be a novel modality as an early/fast diagnosis. In this study, two adjacent tissue sections, which obtained from patients undergone medical surgery, were performed histo-pathological examination by hematoxylin and eosin staining and terahertz (THz) transmission examination respectively, and then THz images were compared with pathologically mapped images. Through transmittance coefficients analysis, it was concluded that THz has the ability to distinguish HCC tissues from normal ones. |
