Arrangements and methods can be provided for determining information associated with at least one section of at least one biological tissue. For example, it is possible to provide at least one first electro-magnetic radiation to the section(s) of the biological tissue(s) in vivo so as to interact with at least one acoustic wave in the biological tissue(s). At least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be produced based on the interaction. At least one portion of the at least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be received, and the information associated with the section(s) of the biological tissue(s) can be determined based on the portion of the second electromagnetic radiation(s).
