This work briefly describes the purpose, implementation
and results of a new method of linear force transmission
that has been developed to address the specific needs of
MR compatible actuation. Described within are the
strengths and weaknesses of current actuation techniques
and how a novel new technology can better fulfill the
actuation needs of image guided interventions without
sacrificing image quality. The described method of force
transmission can be used to transform standard robotic
actuators and control hardware solutions into MR
compatible solutions and has been developed using only
off-the-shelf hardware.
