A new handheld tendon-driven steerable stylet compatible with 13- and 15-gauge brachytherapy needles was designed with optimized spherical joints, modeled via Cosserat rods, and piloted in a multi-composite uterine phantom to demonstrate medial-to-lateral target reach.
Towards fbg- based shape sensing and sensor drift for a steerable needle,

The OncoReach Stylet for Brachytherapy: Design Evaluation and Pilot Study
A new handheld tendon-driven steerable stylet compatible with 13- and 15-gauge brachytherapy needles was designed with optimized spherical joints, modeled via Cosserat rods, and piloted in a multi-composite uterine phantom to demonstrate medial-to-lateral target reach.
