Principle and medical applications of photoacoustic diagnosis are reviewed. Photoacoustic diagnosis involves both advantages of optical and ultrasonic measurements, by which deep-located tissue can be diagnosed or imaged with a high spatial resolution. Applications to diagnosis of pigmented skin diseases, real-time monitoring of laser cyclophotocoagulation, detection of early cancer, functional brain imaging are described.
