Towards human ‐controlled, real‐time shape sensing based flexible needle steering for MRI‐guided percutaneous therapies

ConclusionsResults endorse the feasibility and accuracy of the needle shape reconstruction and visual guidance methods developed in this work. The approach implemented for the multilayer phantom study could facilitate accurate needle placement efforts in real inhomogeneous tissues. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
