Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010004554A1] A monitoring system is presented for monitoring fluid flow in turbid medium. The fluid flow monitoring system comprises 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 irradiating a region of interest with acoustic radiation of a certain frequency range centered at a frequency F 0 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 ? from the region of interest including light tagged by said acoustic radiation. In some embodiments, the processor utility is configured and operable for analyzing the generated signals S 0 and data indicative of the received light including light tagged by the corresponding acoustic radiation and determining correlation between said acoustic signals S 0 and said data indicative of the received light, said correlation being informative of a measure of fluid flow in the medium.
