Temporal-statistical analysis of laser-speckle image (TS-LSI) preserves the original spatial resolution, in contrast to conventional spatial-statistical analysis (SS-LSI). Concerns have been raised regarding the temporal independency of TS-LSI signals and its insensitivity toward stationary-speckle contamination. Our results from flow phantoms and in vivo rat retinas demonstrated that the TS-LSI signals are temporally statistically independent and TS-LSI minimizes stationary-speckle contamination. The latter is because the stationary speckle is "non-random" and thus non-ergodic where the temporal average of stationary speckle needs not equal its spatial ensemble average. TS-LSI detects blood flow in smaller blood vessels and is less susceptible to stationary-speckle artifacts.
与传统的空间统计分析(SS-LSI)相比,激光散斑图像的时间统计分析(TS-LSI)保留了原始空间分辨率。人们对TS-LSI信号的时间独立性及其对静止散斑污染的不敏感性提出了担忧。我们在流动模型和体内大鼠视网膜上的研究结果表明,TS-LSI信号在时间上具有统计独立性,并且TS-LSI可将静止散斑污染降至最低。后者是因为静止散斑是“非随机的”,因此是非遍历性的,静止散斑的时间平均值不一定等于其空间总体平均值。TS-LSI能够检测较小血管中的血流,并且不易受到静止散斑伪影的影响。
