Abstract

An imaging method includes: irradiating breast tissue with infrared light, detecting light in a narrow wavelength band selected from wavelength bands from 1400 nm or more to 1600 nm or less, among light radiated from the tissue irradiated with the infrared light, and generating, based on the detected light in the narrow wavelength band, an image to specify an area in the tissue containing breast cancer cell aggregation or breast cancer tissue.
