Provided is a photoacoustic probe. The photoacoustic probe is configured to control light emitted from an optical unit by using a shutter that is switched between a state in which the shutter is opened to allow light to pass therethrough and a state in which the shutter blocks the light according to whether an inspection starts.

Photoacoustic probe and photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus including same

Provided are a photoacoustic probe and photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus. The photoacoustic probe includes a light irradiation unit for irradiating first light that is used for photoacoustic imaging on an object and an indicator for providing information about whether the first light is irradiated by using the first light.

Photoacoustic probe and photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus

A photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus is provided. The photoacoustic diagnostic apparatus includes a movement restriction unit that selectively restricts a location movement of a user input unit that receives an input signal from a user for a light irradiation unit to irradiate light, based on a location of a contact detection unit that detects whether a probe contacts a subject to be imaged.
