PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoacoustic imaging apparatus which can suppress false irradiation of light from a light source part to parts (human eyes or the like) other than a subject while suppressing complication of a configuration.SOLUTION: A photoacoustic imaging apparatus 100 includes: a light source part 21; a detection generation part 24; a temperature detection part 23; and a light source drive part 22. The light source drive part 22 is configured to stop power supply for the light source part 21 when a rate of change in temperature rise of a temperature detected by the temperature detection part 23 is a first threshold value Rt1 or higher.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
