We developed terahertz wide aperture reflection tomography (WART), a new imaging method. This technique reconstructs object cross-sections using reflection data, enabling advanced imaging applications.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Engineering
  • Imaging Science

Background:

  • Terahertz (THz) radiation offers unique properties for non-ionizing imaging.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is a powerful reconstruction technique.
  • Reflection-based imaging can provide complementary information to transmission-based methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and demonstrate terahertz wide aperture reflection tomography (WART) as a novel imaging modality.
  • To reconstruct cross-sectional images of objects using THz reflection data.
  • To establish a reflection computed tomography technique using electromagnetic waves.

Main Methods:

  • Acquiring time-domain reflection measurements at various viewing angles.
  • Processing measurements as parallel line projections of the object's cross-section.
