title = "Effects of velocity modulation during surgical needle insertion",
abstract = "Precise interstitial intervention is essential for many medical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. But accurate insertion and placement of surgical needle in soft tissue is quite challenging. The understanding of the interaction between surgical needle and soft tissue is very important to develop new devices and systems to achieve better accuracy and to deliver quality treatment. In this paper we present the effects of velocity (linear, rotational, and oscillatory) modulation on needle force and target deflection. We have experimentally verified our hypothesis that needle insertion with continuous rotation reduces target movement and needle force significantly. We have observed little changes in force and target deflection in rotational oscillation (at least at lower frequency) of the needle.",
