Programming interface with a cross-sectional view of a stimulation lead with complex electrode array geometry
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting on a display a side view of a representation of an implantable lead having a complex electrode array geometry;
presenting on the display a cross-sectional view of the representation of the lead; and
receiving user input via interaction with at least one of the side view and the cross-sectional view defining stimulation for delivery by a medical device via the lead.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed to programming implantable stimulators to deliver stimulation energy via one or more implantable leads having complex electrode array geometries. The disclosure also contemplates guided programming to select electrode combinations and parameter values to support efficacy. The techniques may be applied to a programming interface associated with a clinician programmer, a patient programmer, or both. A user interface permits a user to view electrodes from different perspectives relative to the lead. For example, the user interface provides a side view of a lead and a cross-sectional view of the lead. The user interface may include an axial control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different axial positions along the length of a lead, and a rotational control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different angular positions around a circumference of the lead.
