Transbronchial biopsy catheter enhanced by a multisection continuum robot with follow-the-leader motion
2019
Purpose
Current manual catheters for transbronchial biopsy in the lung lack a steering ability, which hampers a physician’s ability to reach nodules in the peripheral lung. The objective of this paper is to design and build a multisection robot with a follow-the-leader motion and compare the performance of the conventional catheter and our robotic catheter in the right main and right segmental lobar bronchus.
