The Near-Infrared Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy Muscle Perfusion Index in Human Calf Muscle – Accounting for Changes in Hemoconcentration
were similar to MRI only after accounting for changes in hemoconcentration. Collectively, these results highlight the importance of accounting for changes in hemoconcentration when using NIRS-DCS to estimate changes in muscle perfusion during physiological provocations such as ischemic reperfusion and exercise.
