Additional information
<02> This paper, published in the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, describes the early stages of a project funded by the New and Emerging Applications of Technology programme from the UK Department of Health. It describes a novel general purpose one degree of freedom actuator (using piezo-ceramics) with position encoder for implementation of closed-loop position control, capable of operating in the bore of a MRI scanner without significantly effecting the imaging. These modules can be connected together to form multi-degree-of-freedom assemblies. The lessons learned and challenges overcome have informed the development of subsequent MRI compatible manipulators.
