Smart needle systems: delivering drug or recovering tissue biopsies by steering through ultrasound tracking, force and shape sensing, image processing, control and manipulation
To successfully perform minimally invasive procedures Doctors frequently use thin, hollow needles where accurate location is crucial. Examples of this minimally invasive procedures include complex surgeries such as colon and rectal, heart, cancer, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), etc. and “simpler” procedures such as anesthetizing...
