A Passive Model-Based Error Compensation Approach for Bevel Tip Needle Deflection
Farid Tavakkolmoghaddam,

Abstract:The interaction between an asymmetric (bevel) tipped needle and the surrounding tissue in image-guided percutaneous interventions, such as in prostate needle biopsy, can result in the deflection of the needle tip and cause significant targeting error. Researchers have extensively investigated different aspects of the needle-tissue interaction and proposed various solutions to mitigate this issue. While there are several promising approaches, most require complex software or hardware which makes them difficult … Show more
