Procedures such as Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) often face problems with ineffective needle insertion due to the unknown geometric relationship with the needle, fascia, and ultrasound probe. The goal of the project is to develop a needle insertion device with mirror ultrasound imaging, which provides an intuitive and simple solution to guide the needle insertion path. This is achieved by visualizing the forward-view of the needle insertion by changing the relative angle between the mirror and US probe.
