Abstract
This review considers experimental research of the biological effects of terahertz radiation and their results, which provide a basis for medical application of laser terahertz radiation. Therapeutic and diagnostic uses of laser terahertz radiation are described with reference to preliminary basic investigations at the organismic, cell, and molecular levels. It is emphasized that preliminary basic studies of this kind are of importance as another avenue of research to design diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in addition to terahertz imaging and spectroscopy.
