HOLDING MEMBER AND HOLDING MEMBER SET, MASKING PART AND MASKING PART SET, AND PHOTOACOUSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of acquiring a photoacoustic image in which an artifact is reduced even in a case where an absorber having a large light absorption amount is present on the surface of the subject of the photoacoustic measurement.;SOLUTION: A photoacoustic apparatus 10 includes: a light irradiating part 004 for irradiating a subject 001 that is a part of an examinee with light; a probe 005 for receiving an acoustic wave generated from the subject irradiated with the light and outputting a signal; and a determining part 019 for determining, on the basis of information related to a specific light absorbing region 011 on a surface of the subject, whether or not a masking part 009 that optically masks the specific light absorbing region is arranged at a specific position.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
