This review explores the progress of terahertz radiation technology in the treatment and diagnosis of skin wounds and other related diseases. The results of its interaction with skin tissues provide valuable insights for future research. Terahertz radiation imaging has proven to be effective in assessing burn severity, capturing changes in edema, measuring exudates in dressings, assisting in burn grading and detection, and quantifying wound changes over time. Terahertz technology offers significant advantages in trauma assessment, which has accelerated its development and adoption in this field. (4) However, fs-THz radiation has been found to have the potential drawback of affecting wound healing. This finding necessitates careful consideration before application, and further research is warranted to explore its role in burn assessment and other medical applications.
