Clinician programmer system and method for steering volumes of activation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented surgical planning method, comprising:
- prior to surgical insertion of a stimulation apparatus into a patient;
obtaining, by a computer processor, user-input of at least one of a medical indication of a patient and a medical therapeutic goal for the patient;
based on the obtained user-input, searching, by the processor, a database of stimulation volumes associated with the at least one of the medical indication and the therapeutic goal;
based on a result of the searching, automatically selecting, by the processor, a target stimulation region for the patient; and
displaying, by the processor and relative to a patient-specific anatomical model, a representation of target stimulation region for stimulation by the stimulation apparatus.

Abstract
A system and method for selection of stimulation parameters for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may include a processor that displays in a display device and in relation to a displayed model of a leadwire including model electrodes, a current field corresponding to a first stimulation parameter set, provides a user interface for receipt of user input representing a shift of the current field, in response to the user input, moves, in the display device, the current field with respect to the displayed model, determines a second stimulation parameter set that results in the moved current field, and outputs the second stimulation parameter set and/or sets a stimulation device with the second stimulation parameter set, where the stimulation device is configured for performing a stimulation using the leadwire in accordance with the second stimulation parameter set.
