The photoacoustic signal imaging and the ultrasonic echo signal imaging can share hardware, and can image the same target sample, except that the ultrasonic echo signal reflects acoustic impedance information of tissues, and the photoacoustic signal reflects optical absorption information. Different physical information is reflected by the same target sample, so that the acoustic impedance and the light absorption information can be subjected to image registration to form dual-mode imaging. The image registration method can be a depth registration method, and the photoacoustic image and the ultrasound are overlaid in the depth direction.
