Objective. Blood flow is one such available observable promoting a wealth of physiological insight both individually and in combination with other metrics.
Approach. Near-infrared diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and, to a lesser extent, diffuse correlation tomography (DCT), have increasingly received interest over the past decade as noninvasive methods for tissue blood flow measurements and imaging. DCS/DCT offers several attractive features for tissue blood flow measurements/imaging such as noninvasiveness, portability, high temporal resolution, and relatively large penetration depth (up to several centimeters).
Main results. This review first introduces the basic principle and instrumentation of DCS/DCT, followed by presenting …
