Abstract

The article provides an overview of developments in the field of flexible needles and methods of control over their behavior in the human body as a part of modern robotic systems for prostate cancer brachytherapy. The authors describe the advantages of flexible needles over standard ones, features of their design, and results of their tests in phantom models.
