Implantable medical devices storing graphics processing data
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a telemetry module configured to retrieve graphics processing data from an implantable medical device that is not configured to perform a rendering process using the graphics processing data and that is configured to at least one of deliver therapy and sense a physiological signal at a therapy target of a patient; and
a control unit, communicatively coupled to the telemetry module, and configured to receive the graphics processing data from the telemetry module, apply the graphics processing data while performing the rendering process to generate an image of an anatomical feature of the patient, wherein the anatomical feature comprises the therapy target for the implantable medical device, and to cause a display unit of a user interface to display the image, wherein the image of the anatomical feature is specific to the patient.

Abstract
In one example, a device includes a telemetry module configured to retrieve graphics processing data from a device that is not configured to perform a rendering process using the graphics processing data and that is associated with delivering therapy to a therapy target of a patient, and a control unit configured to apply the graphics processing data while performing the rendering process to generate an image of an anatomical feature of the patient, wherein the anatomical feature comprises the therapy target for an implantable medical device, and to cause a display unit of a user interface to display the image, wherein the image of the anatomical feature is specific to the patient. The graphics processing data may include a list of vertices or a transform to be applied to a non-patient-specific anatomical atlas. The data may also include a location of a therapy element of the implantable medical device.

9. A system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device comprising a memory that stores graphics processing data, wherein the implantable medical device is configured to at least one of deliver therapy and sense a physiological signal at a therapy target of a patient, and wherein the implantable medical device is not configured to perform a rendering process using the graphics processing data; and an image manipulation device comprising; a telemetry module configured to retrieve the graphics processing data from the memory of the implantable medical device; and a control unit, communicatively coupled to the telemetry module, and configured to receive the graphics processing data from the telemetry module, to perform the rendering process, to apply the graphics processing data while performing the rendering process to generate an image of an anatomical feature of the patient, wherein the anatomical feature comprises the therapy target for the implantable medical device, and to cause a user interface of a display unit to display the image, wherein the image of the anatomical feature is specific to the patient.
