1. A method comprising:
generating a first sinogram from a first optoacoustic response signal received from a tissue, the first optoacoustic response signal generated by a pulse of light having a first predominant wavelength;
generating a second sinogram from a second optoacoustic response signal received from the tissue, the second optoacoustic response signal generated by a pulse of light having a second predominant wavelength;
processing the first and second sinograms to create first and second processed sinograms, respectively;
performing image reconstruction based upon the first and second processed sinograms to generate first and second optoacoustic images, respectively;
performing image post-processing on the first and second optoacoustic images to generate first and second envelope images, respectively; and
generating a first parametric map based upon the information contained in the first and second envelope images.
