Abstract— Insertion velocity, tip asymmetry, and shaft diameter may influence steerable needle insertion paths in soft tissue. In this paper we examine the effects of these vari...

As a flexible needle with a bevel tip is pushed through soft tissue, the asymmetry of the tip causes the needle to bend. We propose that, by using nonholonomic kinematics, contro...

A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. Simulation models are based upon planar tissue deformations and forces measured during needle insertion exper...
Abstract-- During needle-based procedures, transitions between tissue layers often involve puncture events that produce substantial deformation and tend to drive the needle off cou...
Abstract. A needle-tissue interaction model is an essential part of every needle insertion simulator. In this paper, a new experimental method for the modeling of needle-tissue int...
