摘要：
The invention relates to a device and a method for hybrid optoacoustic and ultrasonographic imaging of an object (10), wherein the device comprises: an irradiation unit (3) configured to irradiate the object (10) with electromagnetic radiation (5)； first transducer elements configured to detect ultrasound waves (11) generated in the object (10) upon irradiating the object (10) with the electromagnetic radiation (5)； second transducer elements configured to detect ultrasound waves (13) reflected and/or transmitted by the object (10)； and a surface comprising at least one first surface segment (1), on which the first transducer elements are arranged, and at least one second surface segment (2), on which the second transducer elements are arranged. The at least one first surface segment (1) and/or the at least one second surface segment (2) having a curved shape and said first transducer elements having a first size and a first pitch and said second transducer elements having a second size and a second pitch, wherein the first pitch is different from the second pitch and/or the first size is different from the second size.
