ID Number		1989
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		THz exposure to chicken skin and analysis of reflectivity due to degree of hydration
Details		Chicken skin samples (hydrated and non-hydrated samples) were exposed to THz frequencies and analyzed for reflectivity using a THz scanner instrument. The authors report an 8.7 fold difference in reflectivity between hydrated and dehydrated specimens confirming that water concentration is a primary contrast mechanism in THz biomedical imaging reflectivity.
