Minimally Invasive Flexible Needle Manipulation Based on Finite Element Simulation and Cross Entropy Method
Yanzhou Wang, Chang Chang, Junling Mei +2
We present a novel approach for minimally invasive flexible needle manipulations by pairing a real-time finite element simulator with the cross-entropy method. Additionally, we dem…
Shape Manipulation of Bevel-Tip Needles for Prostate Biopsy Procedures: A Comparison of Two Resolved-Rate Controllers
Yanzhou Wang, Lidia Al-Zogbi, Jiawei Liu +6
Prostate cancer diagnosis continues to encounter challenges, often due to imprecise needle placement in standard biopsies. Several control strategies have been developed to compens…
Bevel-Tip Needle Deflection Modeling, Simulation, and Validation in Multi-Layer Tissues
Yanzhou Wang, Lidia Al-Zogbi, Guanyun Liu +4
Percutaneous needle insertions are commonly performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes as an effective alternative to more invasive surgical procedures. However, the outcome…
