Abstract
Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an established diffuse optical technique that uses the analysis of temporal speckle intensity fluctuations to measure blood flow in tissue. DCS cerebral blood flow measurements in clinical applications have shown promise, but measurements contain contamination of the signal from changes in superficial blood flow. Recent studies have shown that moving to wavelengths beyond the water absorption peak at 970 nm when making DCS measurements improves SNR and reduced influence of superficial flow. Here, we present a DCS system operating at 1064 nm utilizing two InGaAs SPADs to calculate the cross correlation to address detector non-idealities.
