Observations and models for needle-tissue interactions
— The asymmetry of a bevel-tip needle results in the needle naturally bending when it is inserted into soft tissue. In this study we present a mechanics-based model that calculat...

Flexible Needle Steering and Optimal Trajectory Planning for Percutaneous Therapies
Flexible needle insertion into viscoelastic tissue is modeled in this paper with a linear beam supported by virtual springs. Using this simplified model, the forward and inverse ki...

Compact Support Radial Basis Functions for Soft Tissue Deformation
We describe the use of compact support radial basis functions (CSRBFs) for simulation of soft tissue deformation. CSRBFs allow surface and volumetric deformations to be computed i...

Guiding medical needles using single-point tissue manipulation
— This paper addresses the use of robotic tissue manipulation in medical needle insertion procedures to improve targeting accuracy and to help avoid damaging sensitive tissues. T...
