The invention relates to the technical field of
biological imaging, in particular to a terahertz near-field imaging recognition method for
papillary thyroid cancer cells. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: placing a
thyroid cell sample in a terahertz near-field imaging
system, and carrying out scanning imaging on a
thyroid follicle region to obtain nanoscale resolution images of
cell surface and internal structures; identifying and marking suspected
cancer cells different from normal cells based on the
cellular morphology and the imaging characteristics of the
cell nucleus region in the image; whether the suspected
cancer cells have irregular, heterotypic or amplified characteristics is judged by analyzing the
cell nucleus morphology of the suspected
cancer cells, and the suspected cancer cells are compared with the characteristic
nucleus structure of
papillary thyroid cancer, so that identification and diagnosis of single cancer cells are realized. On the basis of a terahertz near-field
imaging technology, nano-scale resolution imaging can be directly carried out
on cells without
dyeing,
cell nucleus morphological characteristics are clearly presented, and the method is easy and convenient to operate and rapid in detection.
