The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

THz Chemical Imaging for Biological Applications (2011, methodology): “This makes the TCI technique a particularly promising tool for analyzing biological and medical samples, such as teeth, skin, and cancer tissue [15], [46]–[50].”
Imaging with terahertz radiation (2007, background): “Even so, there are several important problems for which terahertz imaging may be a useful diagnostic [149].”
Applications of laser wakefield accelerator-based light sources (2016, background): “In particular, water has a strong absorption peak for THz radiation and therefore THz can be used for identifying tumors in epithelial tissue by differences in water content, for example [204].”
Terahertz Band: The Last Piece of RF Spectrum Puzzle for Communication Systems (2019, background): “Unlike UV communication which imposes health restrictions and safety limits on both the eye and skin, an important point to emphasize is that the THz band is a non-ionization band; therefore, no health risks are associated with such frequencies [192].”
