Clinician programmer system and method for steering volumes of activation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented anatomical modeling system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
import from an external system at least one medical image associated with a patient;
display one or more of the at least one medical image;
generate a patient-specific anatomical model that outlines anatomical structures based on the at least one medical image;
display the patient-specific anatomical model; and
display, overlying the patient-specific anatomical model that was generated based on the at least one medical image, a graphical representation of at least one of;
a leadwire that is (a) implanted into an anatomical region of the patient that is modeled by the anatomical model, and (b) configured for stimulating tissue in the anatomical region; and
a volume of tissue estimated by the processor to be activated by the implanted leadwire;
wherein;
the imported at least one medical image was generated prior to the implantation of the leadwire; and
the displayed anatomical model and the displayed one or more of the at least one medical image are displayed overlying each other so that the outlines of the anatomical model outline the anatomical structures within the display of the one or more of the at least one medical image.

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.
