Abstract
An acoustic wave acquisition apparatus moves a probe so that, in a case where a distance between a probe positioned at a first point and a second point corresponding to a target position is below a predetermined threshold value, a ratio of a length of a trajectory to a distance between the first point and the second point is larger than in a case where the distance between the probe and the second point exceeds the predetermined threshold value.
