Sentence examples for needle steering from inspiring English sources

In experimental tests in ex vivo bovine liver tissue, a robotic needle steering system implementing this control scheme was able to consistently steer a needle tip to a simulated target with an average error of 1.57 mm.

Implementation of 3-D ultrasound-guided needle steering in biological tissue represents a significant step toward the clinical application of robotic needle steering.

These results contribute to a mechanics-based model of robotic needle steering, extending previous work on kinematic models.

We also demonstrate a potential clinical application of needle steering by targeting and ablating overlapping regions of cadaveric canine liver.

Both planner and controller are predicated on a previously developed kinematic nonholonomic model of bevel-tip needle steering.
