PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a subject body information acquisition device provided with a light shielding member such that a subject or an operator does not look at illumination light directly, having high easiness in manual technique, and having a small occupying area of the device.SOLUTION: A subject body information acquisition device includes: a measurement unit having a subject body-holding part holding a subject body of a subject, an illumination part irradiating the subject body with light, and a signal conversion part receiving an elastic wave generated in the subject body and converting it into an electric signal a bed supporting the subject a light shielding member covering the measurement unit and having a first opening and a measurement unit support part capable of moving the measurement unit relatively to the bed. The measurement unit and the light shielding member can integrally move.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 被検者や術者が照明光を直視しないような遮光部材を設け、かつ手技容易性が高く、装置占有面積の小さな被検体情報取得装置を提供すること。【解決手段】 被検者の被検体を保持する被検体保持部、前記被検体に光を照射する照明部、及び前記被検体で発生した弾性波を受信し、電気信号に変換する信号変換部を有する測定ユニットと、前記被検者を支持する寝台と、前記測定ユニットを覆い、第一の開口を有する遮光部材と、前記測定ユニットを前記寝台に対して相対的に移動可能に構成された測定ユニット支持部と、を有し、前記測定ユニットと前記遮光部材は一体的に移動可能に構成されている、被検体情報取得装置。【選択図】 図1
