Mechanics of Flexible Needles Robotically Steered through Soft Tissue
The tip asymmetry of a bevel-tip needle results in the needle naturally bending when it is inserted into soft tissue. This enables robotic needle steering, which can be used in me...

Estimation of model parameters for steerable needles
Abstract— Flexible needles with bevel tips are being developed as useful tools for minimally invasive surgery and percutaneous therapy. When such a needle is inserted into soft t...

Design Considerations for Robotic Needle Steering
— Many medical procedures involve the use of needles, but targeting accuracy can be limited due to obstacles in the needle’s path, shifts in target position caused by tissue de...

Needle Insertion Modelling for the Interactive Simulation of Percutaneous Procedures
Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...
