1. A method comprising:
- representing a three-dimensional (3D) anatomical region of a patient in a 3D environment;
representing a 3D stimulation field within the 3D anatomical region;
receiving stimulation field input from a user defining the 3D stimulation field in the 3D environment; and
generating electrical stimulation parameters in a programming device based upon the 3D stimulation field and a location of at least one electrode within patient.

Abstract
The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to configure electrical stimulation therapy by defining a three-dimensional (3D) stimulation field. After a stimulation lead is implanted in a patient, a clinician manipulates the 3D stimulation field in a 3D environment to encompass desired anatomical regions of the patient. In this manner, the clinician determines which anatomical regions to stimulate, and the system generates the necessary stimulation parameters. In some cases, a lead icon representing the implanted lead is displayed to show the clinician where the lead is relative to the 3D anatomical regions of the patient.
