Photoacoustic tomography of breast tissue using a hemispherical array and planar scanning

摘要

It is scanned in the lateral direction of the sensor array (10) used in the photoacoustic imaging to the tissue to be imaged, to collect the plurality of tissue image at a plurality of relative lateral position (70, 71, 72 and 73) Te, by generating a photoacoustic image of the tissue by combining images taken at a plurality of relative lateral position (80), to improve the photoacoustic imaging.
