Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus and associated method of manufacture may include a receiver system that includes an array of receiver elements, in addition to receiver system circuitry. A least a portion of the array of receiver elements is transparent. The transparency allows light to pass through so that blood vessel behind may be visible or otherwise perceived. In this manner, the receiver system may detect (i.e., through the transparent portion of the receiver elements) acoustic waves corresponding to the blood vessel's photoacoustic response to light emitted by a light source system that includes a light-emitting component.
