摘要： Exemplary system, method and computer accessible medium are provided for determining at least one characteristic of a target object located behind or within a medium. For example, it is possible to identify a reference object that is located behind or within the medium. The target object and the reference object can be irradiated via a surface of the medium using at least one electromagnetic wave. At least one acoustic signal provided from an irradiated tissue volume that is responsive to the electromagnetic wave(s) can be measured. Calibration information can be obtained from the acoustic signal measured from the reference object based on at least one known property of the reference object. Then, the characteristic(s) of the target object can be determined based on the calibration information and the acoustic signal from the target object.

摘要： According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, apparatus and method can be provided for determining information regarding a tissue or an object at or within the tissue. For example, with at least one first arrangement which is situated inside a particular organ of the body, it is possible to generate at least one electromagnetic radiation in the tissue, wherein the tissue is different from and outside of the particular organ. The particular signals that are responsive to the at least one electromagnetic radiation can be detected (e.g., possibly with at least one second arrangement), at least one characteristic of the tissue and/or information regarding the object at or in the tissue can be determined (e.g., with the second arrangement(s)).. Alternatively or in addition, the tissue can be different from and outside of the particular organ, and the first arrangement(s) can be situated inside a particular organ of the body. To that end, the can include (i) the heart, (ii) major vessels attached to the heart, (iii) coronary artery, and/or (iv) blood therein.
