DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will give a brief overview of the a
 pplications of THz technology including airport se
 curity\, pharmaceutical products and semiconductor
  quality control followed by a closer look at how 
 we can use THz pulses as a tool to aid clinicians 
 in identifying cancerous tissue  for removal durin
 g surgery. We will look at the work done to charac
 terise the behaviour of THz pulses with biological
  materials and how contrasts can be seen between n
 ormal and cancerous tissue. The talk will end with
  a look at a new medical probe which has been deve
 loped for use in surgery on breast cancer patients
  and an outline and discussion of future research 
 possibilities.\n
