Minimization of needle deflection in robot‐assisted percutaneous therapy

Needle deflection and tissue deformation are two problems encountered during needle insertion into soft, non‐homogeneous tissue. They affect the accuracy of needle placement, which in turn affects the effectiveness of needle‐based therapies and biopsies.
