Needle deflection and soft tissue deformation are the most important factors that affect accuracy in needle insertion. Based on the quasi-static thinking and needle forces, an improved virtual spring model and a finite element method are presented to analyze needle deflection and soft tissue deformation when a needle is inserted into soft tissue. According to the spring model, the trajectory of the needle tip is calculated with MATLAB using different parameters. With the superposed element method, the two and three dimensional quasi-static finite element models are created to simulate the dynamic process of soft tissue deformation using ANSYS software. The two methods will be available for steering the flexible needle to hit the target and avoid the obstacles precisely in the robot-assisted needle insertion.

Scalp soft tissue expansion is one of the key medical techniques to generate new skin tissue for correcting various abnormalities and defects of skin in plastic surgery. Therefore, it is very important to work out the appropriate approach to evaluate the increase of expanded scalp area and to predict the shape, size, number, and placement of the expander. A novel method using finite element model is proposed to solve large deformation of scalp expansion in this paper. And the procedure to implement the scalp tissue expansion with finite element method is also described in detail. The three-dimensional simulation results show that the proposed method is effective, and the analysis of simulation experiment shows that the volume and area of the expansion scalp can be accurately calculated and the quantity, location, and size of the expander can also be predicted successfully with the proposed model.
