Abstract

Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) images optical contrast deep inside biological tissue. Among existing approaches, camera-based parallel detection is beneficial in modulation depth but is limited to the relatively slow framerate of cameras. This condition prevents such a scheme from achieving maturity to image live animals with sub-millisecond speckle correlation time. In this work, we developed on-axis single-shot UOT by investigating the statistics of speckles, breaking the restriction imposed by the slow camera framerate. As a proof of concept, we experimentally imaged a one-dimensional absorptive object buried inside a moving scattering medium with speckle correlation time down to 0.48 ms. We envision that this single-shot UOT is promising to cope with live animals with fast speckle decorrelation.
