Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT), also known as Acousto-Optic Tomography (AOT), is a hybrid imaging modality that combines light and sound; it is a form of tomography involving ultrasound. It is used in imaging of biological soft tissues and has potential applications for early cancer detection. As a hybrid modality which uses both light and sound, UOT provides some of the best features of both: the use of light provides strong contrast and sensitivity (both molecular and functional); these two features are derived from the optical component of UOT. The use of ultrasound allows for high resolution, as well as a high imaging depth. However, the difficulty of tackling the two fundamental problems with UOT (low SNR in deep tissue and short speckle decorrelation time) have caused UOT to evolve relatively slowly; most work in the field is limited to theoretical simulations or phantom / sample studies.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz. This frequency is the approximate upper audible limit of human hearing in healthy young adults. The physical principles of acoustic waves apply to any frequency range, including ultrasound. Ultrasonic devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several gigahertz.

Ultrasound is used in many different fields. Ultrasonic devices are used to detect objects and measure distances. Ultrasound imaging or sonography is often used in medicine. In the nondestructive testing of products and structures, ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws. Industrially, ultrasound is used for cleaning, mixing, and accelerating chemical processes. Animals such as bats and porpoises use ultrasound for locating prey and obstacles.
