Modeling of Needle-Tissue Interaction Using Ultrasound-Based Motion Estimation
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...

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...
