Introduction
This experiment involves the use of the Verasonics Vantage 32LE, a sophisticated ultrasound research system, to explore various aspects of ultrasound imaging and data acquisition. Participants will gain hands-on experience with different ultrasound imaging modes, including A-Mode, B-Mode, Color Doppler, and Spectral Doppler, while understanding the applications of linear array, curvilinear, and phased array transducers. The experiment will also cover real-time data acquisition using the Verasonics system, focusing on measuring time-of-flight values for echoes and analyzing the power spectrum of ultrasound signals in Doppler mode. This comprehensive approach will provide a deeper understanding of both the technical and practical aspects of ultrasound technology.
