Needle Insertion Force

Needle biopsy procedures, such as fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy, are used to extract tissue samples for diagnosis, and collection of larger samples allows for more accurate diagnosis of cancers. The combination of lower needle insertion force, less needle deflection, and reduced friction between the tissue and needle surface also leads to a more efficient biopsy procedure. In this research, a new end-cut-type coaxial needle with a modified aspiration mechanism has been developed to extract large tissue with minimal damage. The study shows that the clearance between the inner stylette and external needle and the insertion speed are the key factors affecting the biopsy performance including syringe friction force and amount of tissue extracted. Larger tissue samples (gelatin and chicken breast are used as samples here) can be obtained when inserting at lower speeds and using coaxial needles with smaller clearances between the external needles and inner stylettes. For solid samples (gelatin), the space inside the external needle is nearly filled with the solid sample. For samples consisting of both solid (chicken meat) and liquid components, a slower needle insertion results in extraction of more liquid than solid. To extract larger solid samples, high-speed needle insertion is required. This paper presents the design and manufacture of the system, protocol to evaluate the needle biopsy, and evaluation of the needle biopsy performance using gelatin and chicken breast as tissue samples.

The Relationship

Lancet needle is a typical medical treatment device. Its tip consists of two lancet planes and one bevel plane. When the lancet needle is inserted into soft organ tissue, the insertion force may influence the needle cutting direction and treatment effect and increase the pain. One of the main factors affecting this insertion force is the geometry of the needle tip. Based on the research on the shape and processing method of the conventional lancet needle, a new lancet needle tip geometry was obtained by adjusting the relative position of the grinding wheel to the needle. A mathematical model of this new lancet needle was established. The relationship between processing parameters and needle shape was analyzed, and the needle insertion force was predicted. Compared with the conventional lancet needle, the new lancet needle is sharper, and the insertion force on the cutting edge is smaller. However, this change in the grinding position of the needle lancet plane has a great influence on the shape of needle tip near the intersection of the bevel plane and the lancet plane. Some special second bevel angle and rotated angle will cause a large change in the specific force at the intersection place, which is not conducive to reducing the insertion force.

Needle Insertion Force

Flexible needle insertion is performed in many clinical and brachytherapy procedures. Needle bending which results from needle–tissue interaction and needle flexibility plays a pivotal role in implantation accuracy. In this paper, a needle insertion force model and a mechanics-based needle deflection model are applied in simulating the real needle insertion process. Using tissue-equivalent materials, the needle force model is acquired from needle insertion experiments. Based on the principle of minimum potential energy, a mechanics-based model is developed to calculate needle deflection. The needle deflection model incorporates needle insertion forces model, needle–tissue interaction model, needle geometric, and tissue properties. The bending–stretching coupling and geometric non-linearity of the flexible needle are both taken into consideration in the needle deflection model. A modified p–y curves method is first introduced in depicting the lateral needle–tissue interaction. The comparison between experimental and simulation results of needle deflection shows that our mechanics-based model can simulate the deflection of the flexible needle with reasonable accuracy. Parametric studies on different geometry properties of needles show that our mechanics-based model can precisely predict the needle deflection when more than one parameter is changed. In addition, as the needle deflection results are obtained numerically by Rayleigh–Ritz approach, further study on the form of deflection formulation leads to the conclusion that choosing a higher order polynomial can improve the overall simulation accuracy.

Silicone-based tissue-mimicking phantom is widely used as a surrogate of tissue for clinical simulators, allowing clinicians to practice medical procedures and researchers to study the performance of medical devices. This study investigates using the mineral oil in room-temperature vulcanizing silicone to create the desired mechanical properties and needle insertion characteristics of a tissue-mimicking phantom. Silicone samples mixed with 0, 20, 30, and 40 wt. % mineral oil were fabricated for indentation and needle insertion tests and compared to four types of porcine tissues (liver, muscle with the fiber perpendicular or parallel to the needle, and fat). The results demonstrated that the elastic modulus and needle insertion force of the phantom both decrease with an increasing concentration of mineral oil. Use of the mineral oil in silicone could effectively tailor the elastic modulus and needle insertion force to mimic the soft tissue. The silicone mixed with 40 wt. % mineral oil was found to be the best tissue-mimicking phantom and can be utilized for needle-based medical procedures.

Simulation Systems

Percutaneous medical procedures rely upon clinicians performing precise needle insertion in soft tissue. The utility of haptic simulation systems in training clinicians for these procedures is highly dependent upon the ability to render accurate insertion force feedback. This paper presents a piecewise mathematical model for insertion force that does not require tissue material properties, detailed mechanical approximations, or complex computations. With manipulation of model parameters, a wide variety of insertion tasks and clinical scenarios can be modeled. Through needle insertion experiments and parameter estimation, this model was demonstrated to replicate the insertion forces associated with a variety of needle and tissue types. In 11 of 12 needle and tissue combinations tested, the model replicated the insertion force with an average absolute mean error of less than 0.065 N.
