Abstract
Sub-terahertz waves are highly sensitive to tissue hydration levels, making them a promising non-invasive tool for skin cancer detection. This work validates the capabilities of a compact, contactless continuous-wave system to discriminate a synthetic lesion from surrounding tissue using a dedicated skin phantom. Depth-resolved reflectivity profiles and B-scan imaging demonstrate that the system can clearly resolve the lesion, highlighting its potential for dermatological applications.
