Clinician programmer system and method for generating interface models and displays of volumes of activation
First Claim
1. A method of a volume of activation (VOA) visualization machine, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a processor of the machine and via a display device of the machine, a model of a portion of a patient anatomy, including a plurality of anatomical structures;
displaying, by the processor and via the display device, a VOA associated by the processor with a set of stimulation parameter settings, the display of the VOA overlaying the display of the model; and
graphically identifying interactions between the displayed VOA and a first subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation benefits and a second subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation side effects, the graphical identifications differing depending on whether the interaction is with the first subset or the second subset.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying a volume of activation (VOA) may include a processor that displays via a display device a model of a portion of a patient anatomy that includes anatomical structures, displays via the display device and overlying the display of the model a VOA associated by the processor with a set of anatomical stimulation parameter settings, the display of the VOA, and graphically identifies interactions between the displayed VOA and a first subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation benefits and a second subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation side effects, where the graphical identifications differ depending on whether the interaction is with the first subset or the second subset.

34. A method of a volume of activation (VOA) visualization machine, the method comprising:
-
calculating, by a processor of the machine, a VOA associated with a stimulation; displaying, by the processor and via a display device, the VOA overlaid on an anatomical model including at least one anatomical structure; and differently highlighting an overlap between the VOA and a portion of the at least one anatomical structure associated with a negative side effect of the stimulation and an overlap between the VOA and a portion of the at least one anatomical structure not associated with any negative side effect of the stimulation.

38. A method of an anatomical model generation machine, the method comprising:
-
determining a location, with respect to a model of a portion of an anatomy, of a stimulation leadwire implanted in the portion of the patient anatomy; displaying the model of the portion of the anatomy; and in accordance with the determined location, displaying, overlaid on the displayed model of the portion of the anatomy, a model of the stimulation leadwire; wherein; the stimulation leadwire includes a plurality of markers offset from each other with respect to a center longitudinal axis of the stimulation leadwire by a number of degrees; and the determining of the location includes rotationally locating the leadwire by; outputting a set of images of a portion of the leadwire including the markers, the set of images including a respective image for each rotation of the leadwire by a certain number of degrees; and receiving user input selecting one of the output images of the portion of the leadwire including the markers.
