This book focuses on biomedical applications of terahertz (THz) waves. THz waves offer advantages due to their low energy (greater safety), long wavelength (less scattering), and sensitivity to water molecules. The book explores the use of THz spectroscopy in elucidating biological behaviors as well as the development of THz wave medical techniques, such as skin drug absorption imaging and cancer diagnosis. It also includes an overview of THz technology, encompassing generation, detection, and imaging methods.

Joo-Hiuk Son received his BS and MS in electronics engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea, in 1986 and 1988, respectively, and his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1994. In the early years, his research was focused on the characterization of electrical and optical properties of semiconductors and various nanosized materials. In recent years, his interest has shifted to terahertz electromagnetic interactions with biological materials and their applications in medicine. Combining his expertise on nanomaterials and terahertz medical diagnosis, he invented a highly sensitive terahertz molecular imaging technique using nanoparticle probes.
