Needle-tissue interaction model is essential to tissue deformation prediction, interaction force analysis and needle path planning system. Traditional FEM based needle-tissue interaction model would encounter mesh distortion or continuous mesh subdivision in dealing with penetration, in which the computational instability and poor accuracy could be introduced. In this work, a novel material point method (MPM) is applied to establish the needle-tissue interaction model which is suitable to handle the discontinuous penetration problem. By integrating a hyperelastic material model, the tissue deformation and interaction force can be solved simultaneously and independently. A testbed of needle insertion into a Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel phantom was constructed to validate both tissue deformation and interaction force. The results showed the experimental data agrees well with the simulation results of the proposed model.

Objective: Due to the limited operating space in the magnetic resonance (MR) environment, there is coupled motion in the insertion mechanism, which not only reduces the flexibility of the robot but also challenges the insertion path planning. Meanwhile, the path planning is also restricted by the bending rule of the flexible needle, thus the bending model of the needle is also essentially built.
Approach: This paper proposes a path planner for the flexible needle based on both the coupled motion kinematics of the insertion robot and the bending model of the flexible needle.
Haptic simulation of needle insertion requires both a needle-tissue interaction model and a method to render the outputs of this model into real-time force feedback for the user. In comparison with interaction models, rendering methods in the literature have seen little development and are either oversimplified or too computationally complex. Therefore, this study introduces the Generalized Tracking Wall (GTW) approach, a haptic rendering method inspired by the proxy approach.

Article Synopsis
- Needle insertion using flexible bevel tip needles is a key minimally-invasive technique for prostate cancer surgery, which allows for precise navigation around sensitive anatomy.
- The study introduces a hybrid deep learning and model-based method for predicting needle trajectory during insertion using a validated Lie-group theory approach, addressing the existing challenges in this area.
- The proposed method shows promising results, achieving an average prediction error of 1.03 mm in needle shape across various tissue models, and demonstrates the ability to further refine the predictive model through self-supervised learning and transfer learning techniques.

Interventional radiologists mainly rely on visual feedback via imaging modalities to steer a needle toward a tumor during biopsy and ablation procedures. In the case of CT-guided procedures, there is a risk of exposure to hazardous X-ray-based ionizing radiation. Therefore, CT scans are usually not used continuously, which increases the chances of a misplacement of the needle and the need for reinsertion, leading to more tissue trauma.

Objective: We present a general framework of simultaneous needle shape reconstruction and control input generation for robot-assisted spinal injection procedures, without continuous imaging feedback.
Methods: System input-output mapping is generated with a real-time needle-tissue interaction simulation, and single-core FBG sensor readings are used as local needle shape feedback within the same simulation framework. FBG wavelength shifts due to temperature variation is removed by exploiting redundancy in fiber arrangement.
