AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers have studied fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-sensorized needles for prostate biopsies, which require calibration that's often time-consuming and error-prone.
- A new semi-automatic robotic system has been developed to streamline the calibration of these FBG needles.
- This robotic system matches the calibration accuracy of skilled manual operators, thus significantly cutting down on the time needed for the calibration process.
Article Abstract
There has been much research exploring the use of fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-sensorized needles in the prostate biopsy procedure, but all FBG needles used in the research need to be calibrated, which is time consuming and prone to human errors. In this work, a semi-automatic robotic system was developed to perform FBG needle calibration. Compared to manual calibration results, the robotic system is able to calibrate FBG needles with the similar level of accuracy as achieved by an experienced manual operator, thus reducing the time cost during the needle calibration process.

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.

Flexible needle insertion procedures are common in minimally-invasive surgeries for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. Bevel-tip needles provide physicians the capability to steer the needle during long insertions to avoid vital anatomical structures in the patient and reduce post-operative patient discomfort. To provide needle placement feedback to the physician, sensors are embedded into needles for determining the real-time 3D shape of the needle during operation without needing to visualize the needle intra-operatively.

This study aimed to synthesize fluoride-doped bioactive glass (F-BG) based thermo-sensitive injectable hydrogel for endodontic applications. The structural and phase analyses were done with Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction, respectively. The setting time of prepared injectable was investigated at 21°C (in the presence and absence of an ultrasonic scalar) and at 37°C.
