A method and system are presented for use in determining one or more
parameters of a subject. A region of interest of the subject is
irradiated with acoustic tagging radiation, which comprises at least one
acoustic tagging beam. At least a portion of the region of interest is
irradiated with at least one electromagnetic beam of a predetermined
frequency range. Electromagnetic radiation response of the at least
portion of the region of interest is detected and measured data
indicative thereof is generated. The detected response comprises
electromagnetic radiation tagged by the acoustic radiation. This enables
processing of the measured data indicative of the detected
electromagnetic radiation response to determine at least one parameter of
the subject in a region corresponding to the locations in the medium at
which the electromagnetic radiation has been tagged by the acoustic
radiation, and outputting data indicative of the at least one determined
parameter.
