Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation of Needle Insertion into Soft Tissue

Adam Wittek, George Bourantas, Benjamin F. Zwick +3

In this study we present a kinematic approach to modeling needle insertion into soft tissues. The kinematic approach allows the presentation of the problem as Dirichlet-type (i.e.…
