摘要：
The invention relates to a handheld device (1) for optoacoustic imaging of an object (10) and a corresponding method comprising an irradiation unit (6) for irradiating the object (10) with electromagnetic radiation, in particular light, and a detector unit (3, 4) for detecting acoustic, in particular ultrasonic, waves which are generated in the object (10) upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation.In order to enable three-dimensional multispectral imaging in real-time, which allows not only imaging of dynamic anatomical, functional and molecular phenomena in the object (10) but also avoids multiple motion- and limited-viewrelated image artifacts and thus facilitates quantitative image acquisition, the detector unit (3, 4) comprises a two-dimensional array of a plurality of detector elements (4) which are arranged along a first surface (3).
