How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe digitizer played a crucial role in verifying the functionality of the PZT-PVDF stacked transducer through pulse-echo experiments. It captured the echo signals received by both the PZT and PVDF elements, allowing for precise measurement and comparison of the signal delays. Additionally, the digitizer facilitated the reception of broadband acoustic emissions during experiments involving microbubbles exposed to ultrasound pulses.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe Digitizer, specifically the Gage 12400, was used in the research to digitize amplified echo signals during the ultrasonic BBB opening process. The digitizer converted analog signals to digital data, which were then analyzed to monitor and measure the effects of FUS on the BBB.
How the GaGe Digitizer was Used: A 30 MHz linear array transducer was integrated into a pulsed-wave Doppler system, including a 16-channel analog beamformer and timing circuits. Echoes were digitized by a GaGe digitizer and stored for real-time display and analysis.

How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The GaGe Digitizer (CompuScope 12100) was utilized to digitize the signals received from the 10-MHz transducer. These signals, which were further amplified by an ultrasonic receiver, provided crucial data for analyzing the cavitation effects by measuring the inertial cavitation dose (ICD).
