A Concept for Fail Safe Robotic Needle Insertion in Soft Tissue
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a concept of automatic needle placement for brachytherapy. For the success of this minimally invasive treatment, a precise and safe placement of needles inside soft tissue is fundamental. The presented concept incorporates information about the needle as well as the tissue to find a suitable needle trajectory. A patientspecific tissue model is derived from different imaging modalities and updated during the insertion. Essential for this concept is that during the robotic placement of the needle, it is continuously verified if proceeding is safe.

Epilepsy is a debilitating, potentially fatal, seizure-causing neurological disorder that will affect approximately 1% of people worldwide in their lifetimes [1]. Medication-based treatment is ineffective for an estimated 40% of epilepsy patients [1]. As an alternative to medication, surgical removal of the hippocampus (commonly, the origin of epileptic seizures) successfully cures epileptic se...

Needle insertion is a minimally invasive technique in diagnosing and treating tumors. However, to perform a surgery accurately, the tissue should have minimum amount of displacement during needle insertion so that it reaches the target tissue. Therefore, the tissue membrane has to move less to decrease rupturing under the membrane. In this study, the effect of different design parameters on dis...
متن کاملMechanics 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 medical procedures to reach subsurface targets inaccessible by straight-line trajectories. However, accurate path planning and control of needle steering requires models of needle-tissue interaction. Previous kinematic m...
