Tip design for safety of steerable needles for robot-controlled brain insertion

BACKGROUND: Current practice in neurosurgical needle insertion is limited by the straight trajectories inherent in rigid probes. One technique allowing curvilinear trajectories involves flexible bevel-tipped needles, which bend during insertion because of their asymmetry. In the brain, safety will r...
