Figure 4-3: Clear Vessel indications
The “Clear Vessel” function may be turned OFF or ON at any
time by the user. When turned OFF, the CLR label totally
disappears from the screen.
Note: “Clear Vessel” can become active and functional only
while the image of the common carotid vessel occupies most of
the width of the image and is relatively linear throughout the
image. In case the vessel is curved or twisted the function will
become non-active and the CLR label will change to a
dark-gray color.
Note: When investigating anatomical structures of very low
echogenicity within the common carotid vessel the user may
turn off “Clear Vessel” in order to assure the visualization of all
reflected echoes, even if obscured by surrounding noise.
