Abstract
Provided is an object information acquiring apparatus, including: a light source; a detecting unit that detects an acoustic wave generated from an object which has received an irradiation light from the light source; a processing unit that generates characteristic information on the inside of the object by using the acoustic wave; and a memory unit that records the characteristic information in association with information on the irradiation light.
Claims13
An object information acquiring apparatus, comprising:
- a light source;
- a detecting unit configured to detect an acoustic wave generated by irradiating an object with irradiation light from said light source and output a signal;
- a processing unit configured to generate characteristic information on the inside of the object by using the signal output from said detecting unit;
- and
- a memory unit configured to record the characteristic information in association with information on the irradiation light,
- wherein said processing unit causes a display unit to display the characteristic information on the inside of the object and the information on the irradiation light.
