Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Soft tissue deformation and ruptures complicate needle placement. However, ruptures at tissue interfaces also contain information which helps physicians to navigate through different layers. This navigation task can be challenging, whenever ultrasound (US) image guidance is hard to align and externally sensed forces are superimposed by friction.
