Towards a Tendon-Assisted Magnetically Steered (TAMS) Robotic Stylet for Brachytherapy

Interstitial brachytherapy requires up to 20 straight needles to surround and irradiate deep-seated tumors, but may offer sub-optimal radiation dosage in cases of advanced cancers. A steerable stylet can be used to guide the needle within the tissue, improving procedure accuracy and reducing the num
