“…The influence of boundary conditions is emphasized in [14] where three scenarios for brain-skull boundary conditions are compared and experiments show that best results are achieved when brain motion is allowed in the cranial cavity. Regarding the insertion of the cannula or electrode in the brain, the closest works are in the field of brachytherapy (the reader may refer to [1] for a survey on the insertion of needles into soft tissues). Finally regarding the influence of CSF, Lunn et al [8] propose to model the brain as a porous media and use consolidation theory to take into account the CSF in the brain.…”

Abstract. Deep Brain Stimulation is a modern surgical technique for treating patients who suffer from affective or motion disorders such as Parkinson's disease. The efficiency of the procedure relies heavily on the accuracy of the placement of a micro-electrode which sends electrical pulses to a specific part of the brain that controls motion and affective symptoms. However, targeting this small anatomical structure is rendered difficult due to a series of brain shifts that take place during and after the procedure. This paper introduces a biomechanical simulation of the intra and postoperative stages of the procedure in order to determine lead deformation and electrode migration due to brain shift. To achieve this goal, we propose a global approach, which accounts for brain deformation but also for the numerous interactions that take place during the procedure (contacts between the brain and the inner part of the skull and falx cerebri, effect of the cerebro-spinal fluid, and biomechanical interactions between the brain and the electrodes and cannula used during the procedure). Preliminary results show a good correlation between our simulations and various results reported in the literature.

“…To characterize the needle soft tissue cutting efficiency, the cutting force needs to be decomposed from the axial insertion force. For solid needle, Abolhassani et al [17] and Kobayashi et al [18] measured the needle insertion force when the tip was out of the tissue and regarded this force as the external friction force (F ex ) to find the cutting force (F c ). Howard et al [19] and Winine et al [20] used an approach to insert the same needle into tissue twice at the same location to find the F c and F ex .…”

Lancet needle, having three planes at the tip to generate a sharp lancet point, is the most common needle tip geometry and used for medical procedures. This research presents two five-plane lancet needle designs, the five-plane lancet needle with two back bevels (FLN-B) and five-plane lancet needle with two front bevels (FLN-F), to study the effects of two additional bevel planes on the reduction of soft tissue cutting force. Mathematical models to calculate the inclination angle and rake angle along the cutting edges of FLN-B and FLN-F are developed. By using the grinding process, the prototype FLN-B and FLN-F needles are fabricated. And their inclination and rake angles along the cutting edges are investigated and compared to that of regular lancet needle. Needles insertion tests were conducted on soft PVC phantom which mimics the soft tissue. The initial peak insertion force and steady-state cutting force during needle insertion were identified, and the effect of cutting edge on needle soft tissue cutting force was studied. Compared to lancet needle, FLN-B and FLN-F both have higher inclination and rake angles at the tip cutting edge, could reduce the initial peak needle insertion force and tissue cutting forces, and thus can efficiently cut the soft tissue for medical applications.
