Hello everyone,

I am a researcher at the National Institutes of Health searching for fiber
optic pressure sensors that can be used as ultrasound imaging transducers in an
MR scanner. This is a developing medical field of combining ultrasound with
interventional MRI. The sensors need to work at 1MHz frequency range in a
strong magnetic field ( a few teslas), with ac sensitivities around a few
pascal at less than 1 inch diameter. Appreciate any info, suggestions or
collaborations on this.

Could you provide any more details on your process for spraying photoresist-
where you bought equipment, which resists you tried, etc.  Thank you.
