摘要:
A photoacoustic ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes a light emitting portion configured to emit pulsed light; a photoacoustic sound source configured to absorb the pulsed light and generate photoacoustic waves to be transmitted toward a subject; a plurality of transducers configured to receive photoacoustic waves reflected by the subject and output electric signals; and an information processor configured to output a photoacoustic ultrasonic echo image of the subject by using the electric signals. The information processor is configured to calculate the photoacoustic ultrasonic echo image on the basis of positional information on the photoacoustic sound source.
