Popis: Advanced optical neuromonitoring of cerebral hemodynamics with hybrid diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) methods holds promise for non-invasive characterization of brain health in critically ill patients. However, the methods' fiber-coupled patient interfaces (probes) are challenging to apply in emergent clinical scenarios that require rapid and reproducible attachment to the head. To address this challenge, we developed a novel chassis-based optical probe design for DOS/DCS measurements and validated its measurement accuracy and reproducibility against conventional, manually held measurements of cerebral hemodynamics in pediatric swine (n = 20). The chassis-based probe design comprises a detachable fiber housing which snaps into a 3D-printed, circumferential chassis piece that is secured to the skin. To validate its reproducibility, eight measurement repetitions of cerebral tissue blood flow index (BFI), oxygen saturation (StO2), and oxy-, deoxy- and total hemoglobin concentration were acquired at the same demarcated measurement location for each pig. The probe was detached after each measurement. Of the eight measurements, four were acquired by placing the probe into a secured chassis, and four were visually aligned and manually held. We compared the absolute value and intra-subject coefficient of variation (CV) of chassis versus manual measurements. No significant differences were observed in either absolute value or CV between chassis and manual measurements (p > 0.05). However, the CV for BFI (mean ± SD: manual, 19.5% ± 9.6; chassis, 19.0% ± 10.8) was significantly higher than StO2 (manual, 5.8% ± 6.7; chassis, 6.6% ± 7.1) regardless of measurement methodology (p
