Tissue hemodynamics, including the blood flow, oxygenation, and oxygen metabolism, are closely associated with many diseases. As one of the portable optical technologies to explore human physiology and assist in healthcare, near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy (NIRS) for tissue oxygenation measurement has been developed for four decades. In recent years, a dynamic NIRS technology, namely, diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), has been emerging as a portable tool for tissue blood flow measurement. In this article, we briefly describe the basic principle and algorithms for static NIRS and dynamic NIRS (i.e., DCS). Then, we elaborate on the NIRS instrumentation, either commercially available or custom-made, as well as their applications to physiological studies and clinic. The extension of NIRS/DCS from spectroscopy to imaging was depicted, followed by introductions of advanced algorithms that were recently proposed. The future prospective of the NIRS/DCS and their feasibilities for routine utilization in hospital is finally discussed.
