Adding a Venous Reflux

You can add a venous reflux to a vessel diagram using the Properties Panel or the Matrix control.

This property is only available in the reports where lower extremity venous findings exist.

  • A diagram supports a single venous reflux figure per segment.
  • The venous reflux displays on top of all other figures.
  • The venous reflux displays in the middle of the segment.

Note:
  • If you add a venous reflux through the Matrix Control and this reflux is not in the 7.4.1 Vessel Diagram, then carry over for that reflux is not available in 7.4.2 Vessel Diagram.
  • The Matrix Control is found in the measurement tab of vascular reports.
