It is now over a decade since the first papers were published on Terahertz (THz) pulsed imaging. Much was then claimed for this field, and many applications were confidently foreseen in medicine, biology, process engineering, surveillance, and security. During the intervening 10 years, a variety of developments have taken place in both THz science and technology and the subject is maturing rapidly. In this final chapter, the central Themes of this workshop will be briefly reviewed. In addition, a summary will be presented of the key questions that must be addressed in the short term if applicable. THz science is to realise some of the potential which has been claimed for this new window on the electromagnetic spectrum.
