Our paper entitled “Data-driven adaptive needle insertion assist for transperineal prostate interventions” has been published in Physics in Medicine and Biology. In this study, we investigated a robot-assisted collaborative needle insertion method that only requires an actuated passive needle guide and a conventional needle and demonstrated that the proposed method significantly improved the needle placement accuracy successfully.
