Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UMOT) is a biomedical imaging technique that combines ultrasound and optical imaging to provide high-resolution images of biological tissues. This method leverages the interaction between ultrasound waves and the light that is scattered as it passes through tissue, allowing for enhanced imaging capabilities. \#\#\# Key Components of UMOT: 1. **Ultrasound Modulation**: Ultrasound waves are applied to the tissue, creating small mechanical perturbations.
