| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Active Sheath mechanisms proposed by authors were applied to steerable needles and fine needles, TIPS needles and steerable microcatheters. Each steerable needle consisted of a flexible cannula and a flexible loop-shaped stylet. The steerable microcatheter consisted of a micro catheter and a loop-shaped guidewire. Especially, the TIPS needle employed a combination of the Active Sheath mechanism and a concentric tube mechanism. About the steerable needles, kinematics and FEM simulations were performed. A real-time MRI navigation systems was developed to track needle insertions.
