OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the influence of hand shake and to acquire accurate tomographic images regarding an optical tomographic image acquisition device for dentistry or the like. SOLUTION: The optical tomographic image acquisition device includes a probe for scanning light to a measurement object and acquiring tomographic image information of the measurement object, and a body connected to the probe for generating the tomographic image of the measurement object from the tomographic image information from the probe. The probe includes: a probe body 1 with a built-in optical scanning part 8 for scanning light in one axial direction; an optical input/output part 2 mounted on the probe body 1, for inputting and outputting the light from the optical scanning part 8 to/from the outside; an acceleration detection means 38 for detecting the acceleration of the optical input/output part 2; and a notification means 39 for notifying the body when the acceleration detection means 38 detects the acceleration equal to or more than a predetermined size.
