摘要：
The present disclosure relates to a handheld device for optoacoustic imaging of an object and a corresponding method comprising an irradiation unit configured for irradiating the object with electromagnetic radiation, for example light, and a detector unit for detecting acoustic, for example ultrasonic, waves which are generated in the object upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation.In order to facilitate three-dimensional multispectral imaging in real-time, which allows not only imaging of dynamic anatomical, functional and molecular phenomena in the object but also avoids multiple motion- and limited-view-related image artifacts and thus facilitates quantitative image acquisition, in some embodiments, the detector unit comprises a two-dimensional array of a plurality of detector elements which may be arranged along a first surface.
