As flexible bevel tip needles are inserted into tissue, a deflection force causes the needle to bend with a curvature dependent on relative stiffness and bevel angle. By constantly spinning the needle during insertion, the bevel angle is essentially negated and a straight trajectory can be achieved. Incorporating duty-cycled spinning during needle insertion provides proportional control of the curvature of the needle trajectory through tissue. This paper proposes a kinematic model for needle steering via duty-cycled spinning. Validation using experimental results is also presented.

This paper presents an energy-efficient, duty-cycled, and spinning excitation bridge-to-digital converter (BDC) designed for implantable pressure sensing systems. The circuit provides the measure of the pulmonary artery pressure that is particularly relevant for the monitoring of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension patients. The BDC is made of a piezoresistive pressure sensor and a readout integrated circuit (IC) that comprises an instrumentation amplifier (IA) followed by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

Image-guided robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery is an important medicine procedure used for biopsy or local target therapy. In order to reach the target region not accessible using traditional techniques, long and thin flexible needles are inserted into the soft tissue which has large deformation and nonlinear characteristics. However, the detection results and therapeutic effect are directly influenced by the targeting accuracy of needle steering.

Steerable needles can potentially improve the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as biopsy and cancer treatment, by increasing the targeting accuracy and reaching previously inaccessible targets. A discrete potential field algorithm based on three dimensional (3D) anatomical structures is proposed in this paper to plan the needle path in minimally invasive surgery. A 3D kinematic model of needle steering is formulated using Lie group theory.

Background: Intracerebral drug delivery using surgically placed microcatheters is a growing area of interest for potential treatment of a wide variety of neurological diseases, including tumors, neurodegenerative disorders, trauma, epilepsy, and stroke. Current catheter placement techniques are limited to straight trajectories. The development of an inexpensive system for flexible percutaneous intracranial navigation may be of significant clinical benefit.

A technique for steering of flexible bevel-tipped needles through tissue, providing proportional control of trajectory curvature by means of duty-cycled rotation or spinning during insertion, has been presented previously, and tested in vitro in gelatin samples. The present paper presents the results of testing under more authentic conditions. Thirty-two needle insertions were performed in cadaver brain tissue.
