  • Probe for diagnosing otitis media using terahertz waves and otitis media diagnosis system and method
    Patent number: 9392934
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a otitis media diagnosis system using terahertz electromagnetic waves, which can diagnose otitis media using terahertz electromagnetic waves in a non-invasive manner, and which can accurately diagnose otitis media by acquiring images on the tympanic cavity using terahertz electromagnetic waves with excellent transmittance, and which can quickly and accurately divide exudative otitis media and suppurative otitis media using terahertz electromagnetic waves that are sensitive to moisture, and which is safe to a body using terahertz electromagnetic waves. The otitis media diagnosis system includes a terahertz probe including a generating unit for radiating terahertz electromagnetic waves from the outside of an ear toward a tympanic cavity and a detection unit for detecting the reflected terahertz electromagnetic waves reflected from the tympanic cavity.
