Abstract
A computer-assisted needle insertion method is provided. The computer-assisted needle insertion method includes the following steps. A first machine learning model and a second machine learning model are obtained. A computed tomography image and a needle insertion path are obtained, a suggested needle insertion path is generated according to the first machine learning model, the computed tomography image, and the needle insertion path, and the needle is instructed to approach a needle insertion point on a skin of a target. The needle insertion point is located on the suggested needle insertion path. A breath signal of the target is obtained, and whether a future breath state of the target is normal is estimated according to the second machine learning model and the breath signal. A suggested needle insertion period is output according to the breath signal in response to determining that the future breath state is normal.
