Quantifying the Consequences of Catheter Steerability Limitations on Targeted Drug Delivery [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we virtually study the intra-arterial targeted drug delivery. Specifically, this work models and quantifies the uncertainties associated with catheter steerability limitations. We classify catheter's limited steerability into two types, i.e., zero steerability, and wall pressing steerability.
