Title: BIOMEDICAL T-RAY IMAGING - A NON-HAZARDOUS TECHNIQUE IN EARLY DETECTION OF MALIGNANT TUMOR
Abstract:
Terahertz medical nano-electronics is rapidly developing all over the world. It has huge application possibilities in the wide fields of Science, Engineering and Biomedical sectors. Although there is no doubt about its application possibilities, Scientists all over the world are in search of suitable low cost, compact source that can generate THz power for the purpose of non invasive, non hazardous imaging with great accuracy for early detection of malignant tumor in human. Now-a-days in developed countries medical Scientists are gradually realizing the need of development of some high frequency sources that has no adverse effect on the human. While passing through the body, X-ray damages cell and it is hazardous for multiple time applications. As a result, scientists are in search of suitable alternatives. Solid state devices have immense application possibilities in room temperature application, which is very essential criterion for any biomedical applications. Also compactness of a device is required for its useful applications in biomedical sectors. Realizing the ever increasing demand of suitable room temperature solid state low cost, compact nano dimensional source to replace X Ray for imaging applications, the author has carefully studied the possibilities of a proposed novel device in Thz regime. The present talk will certainly throw light on this Tera - Gap. The proposed device will meet the ever increasing demand with great success. The model, fabrication, characterization and imaging part with the device will be discussed thoroughly in this talk. Medical electronics engineers, Nano technologist will be greatly benefited.
