Abstract

Because each regenerated cartilage has peculiar properties, non-invasive assessment methods should be developed for practical use. We intended to achieve non-invasive assessment of cartilage by applying the terahertz technology. It was a purpose of this study toclarify the relation to the characteristic of the cartilage and the terahertz wave spectrum. In this paper, we clarified the relation between the amount of free/bond water in cartilage, which is one of factors that decides the characteristic of cartilage, and absorbance of the terahertz wave by measuring the appearance while the samples such as the natural cartilage and what was treated with enzyme were drying.
