Abstract
An optoacoustic probe for optoacoustic imaging of a volume is provided that includes a housing extending from a distal end operable to contact the volume to a proximal end. The optoacoustic probe includes a light source configured to generate light that is transmitted along a light pathway to generate return signals when the light reacts with the volume, and a transducer assembly including a transducer configured to receive the optoacoustic return signals and an acoustic lens provided over the transducer. The optoacoustic probe also includes a steering assembly coupled within the housing and configured to steer the light pathway to generate the light along the light pathway at different scanning areas of the volume based on the return signals.
