  Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

  · Designed an MRI-compatible force sensor for quantification of the applied axial force generated by an ultrasonic motor (USM) in the magnetic resonance (MR) environment\n· Characterized the force generated by the USM outside and inside a high-field MRI scanner\n· Discovering the source of USM-generated MR image artifacts

  describing and classifying them theoretically according to the scanner’s magnetic fields

  and providing methods to compensate for their generation.\n· Quantified the exerted force applied by the scanner’s magnetic fields on the USM and calculating these forces theoretically.\n· Quantified the temperature change of the motor during operation in the MRI scanner

  discovering the temperature at which the motor may cause operation failure or safety issues

  and theoretically determining the source of and introducing a method to compensate for changes in temperature.\n
