Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an increasingly widespread non-invasive technology to measure tissue perfusion. Extending this technique into adult brain monitoring to assess real-time cerebral blood flow (CBF) requires addressing the influence of extracerebral contributions on DCS measurements. We compare several Monte Carlo based forward simulation models on the efficacy of CBF isolation, including ones generated directly from individual subject MRI scans. We conclude that a multi-layer curved surface representation is beneficial, and that the traditional single-layer homogenous model is insufficient; however, detailed structural information such as cortical folding represented in an individualized tissue-specific model may not be needed.
