There have recently been several studies published involving terahertz (THz) imaging of frozen biomedical samples. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the freeze-thaw cycle on THz properties of porcine muscle and fat samples. For ordinary freezing, there was a significant change in the THz properties after thawing for muscle tissue but not for fat tissue. However, if snap-freezing was combined with fast-thawing instead of ordinary freezing and ordinary thawing, then the freeze-thaw hysteresis was removed.
最近有几项关于冷冻生物医学样本太赫兹（THz）成像的研究发表。在本文中，我们研究了冻融循环对猪肌肉和脂肪样本太赫兹特性的影响。对于普通冷冻，解冻后肌肉组织的太赫兹特性有显著变化，而脂肪组织则没有。然而，如果将速冻与快速解冻相结合，而不是普通冷冻和普通解冻，那么冻融滞后现象就会消除。
