In this work, diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is explored in multi-layered geometries. A quantitative comparison of an homogeneous versus a two-layered model efficiencies to recover flow changes is presented. By simulating a realistic human head with MRI anatomical data, we show that the two-layered model allows distinction between changes in superficial layers and brain. We also show that the two-layered model provides a better estimate of the flow change than the homogeneous one. Experimental measurements with a two-layered dynamical phantom confirm the ability of the two-layered analytical model to distinguish flow increase in each layer. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America
