<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a subject information acquisition apparatus and a subject information acquisition method capable of acquiring high-quality images in elastic wave imaging for acquiring subject information while holding the subject by a plate. <P>SOLUTION: The subject information acquisition apparatus includes a processing section for acquiring a sound speed in the subject by using a signal output from a first probe when first probe receives an elastic wave, member-to-member distance information acquired by a member-to-member distance measuring section, an amount of deformation of a first holding member measured by a first holding member deformation amount measuring unit, an amount of deformation of a second holding member measured by a second holding member deformation amount measuring unit, position information of the first holding member deformation amount measuring unit, and position information of the second holding member deformation amount measuring unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
