Appendix A Technical Description
A - 14 Instructions for Use
Advanced SieClear Spatial Compounding Option
 2D image optimization technique for enhanced viewing of tissue differences by detection of
subtle lesions and enhanced tissue differentiation
 Works with Tissue Contrast Enhancement (TCE) to provide detail in complex masses
Advanced SieClear Spatial Compounding with Color Option
 Requires the Advanced SieClear Spatial Compounding (ASSC) option
 Supports ASSC for 2D images when Color is activated
Dynamic TCE Tissue Contrast Enhancement Option
 Reduces speckle and enhances contrast to provide a realistic tissue presentation and
patient-specific processing that adapts to differences in tissue
Clarify Vascular Enhancement (Clarify VE) Technology Option
 Available in combination with 2D-mode, the 2D-mode image in Doppler, SieClear
compounding, and THI
 Clarify vascular enhancement technology (Clarify VE) is an optional feature that can
decrease artifacts in the 2D-mode image, resulting in an improved view of anatomical
structures. Decreased artifacts can enhance definition of both tissue and vessel walls by
increasing contrast resolution and improving boundary detection. Clarify VE uses flow
information to eliminate noise and reverberation from vessels.
 Compatible with the Advanced SieClear Spatial Compounding (ASSC) option
Custom Tissue Imaging Option
 Optimizes the 2D image by adjusting the speed of sound.
