<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus that successfully forms an image of a deep part of a subject by increasing the average density of irradiation light, in photoacoustic measurement using holding plates and an acoustic contact improving member. <P>SOLUTION: An acoustic wave acquiring apparatus includes: the holding plates for holding a subject via the acoustic contact reinforcement member; an acoustic wave detector for receiving an acoustic wave generated from the subject irradiated with light from a light source and converting the acoustic wave into an electric signal; and a processor for generating characteristic information of the inside of the subject by using the electric signal. In the acoustic wave acquiring apparatus, the holding plates are subjected to hydrophilic process or the acoustic contact improving member contains a surfactant. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
