Abstract:
1. A monitoring system for monitoring fluid flow in turbid medium, the system comprising: a processor utility which is connectable to an acoustic generator associated with one or more acoustic ports and is operable for generating signals S 0 to activate said one or more acoustic ports for generating acoustic radiation of a certain frequency range centered at a frequency F 0 to irradiate a region of interest and is connectable to at least one light output port associated with one or more light detectors for receiving light of at least one wavelength λ from the region of interest including light tagged by said acoustic radiation, the processor utility being configured and operable for analyzing the signals S 0 and data indicative of the received light including light tagged by the corresponding acoustic radiation and determining correlation between said signals S 0 and said data indicative of the received light, said correlation being informative of a measure of fluid flow in the medium.
