We present an automatic classification strategy for early and accurate assessment of burn
injuries using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopic imaging. Burn injuries of different …

The initial assessment of the depth of a burn injury during triage forms the basis for
determination of the course of the clinical treatment plan. However, severe skin burns are …

Terahertz (THz) technology offers a variety of applications in medical spectroscopy and
imaging. In such applications, tissues are commonly assumed to be optically homogeneous …

Ultrabroadband electromagnetic (EM) absorbers, especially those covering microwave to
terahertz (THz) bands, are urgently desired in multispectral applications such as 6G …

Significance Severe burn injuries cause significant hypermetabolic alterations that are
highly dynamic, hard to predict, and require acute and critical care. The clinical assessments …

The endothelial layer of the cornea plays a critical role in regulating its hydration by actively
controlling fluid intake in the tissue via transporting the excess fluid out to the aqueous …

Speckle patterns observed in coherent optical imaging reflect important characteristic
information of the scattering object. To capture speckle patterns, angular resolved or oblique …

Wavelet transform is an important tool in the computational signal processing of terahertz
time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) measurements. Despite its prevalence, the effects of …

Thermal injuries can occur due to direct exposure to hot objects or liquids, flames, electricity,
solar energy and several other sources. If the resulting injury is a deep partial thickness …

Turbid media, made of wavelength-scale inhomogeneous particles, can give rise to many
significant imaging and spectroscopy challenges. The random variation of the refractive …
