STIC may enhance index stability in experimental models; hypothesis-generating and requires clinical validation before any practice implications.
Does STIC power Doppler reduce the variability of vascularization flow index compared to static 3D power Doppler in flow phantom and carotid artery models?
3D power Doppler indices derived from STIC are more stable and repeatable than those obtained from conventional static 3D power Doppler datasets.
Miyague et al. (2013) studied this question. Spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) power Doppler vs. Conventional static 3D power Doppler was evaluated on Variance of vascularization flow index (VFI) values. Spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) power Doppler significantly reduced the variance of vascularization flow index values compared to conventional static 3D power Doppler.
