Abstract
An apparatus includes a detector to output a signal by detecting an acoustic wave produced by irradiating a specimen with light, and a processor configured to: calculate a first optical characteristic value distribution in the specimen; determine, based on a designation by an operator for the first optical characteristic value distribution, two or more regions of a vessel in the specimen; calculate, by using an initial sound pressure distribution or optical energy absorption density distribution of the two or more regions of the vessel, an average optical constant of a background region which surrounds the two or more regions of the vessel; calculate, by using the average optical constant of the background region, a local fluence distribution in the specimen; and calculate, by dividing the first optical characteristic value distribution by the local fluence distribution, a second optical characteristic value distribution in which the first optical characteristic value distribution is corrected.
