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.
