in accordance with the determined relative position, displaying, by the computer processor and in the display device, a model of the stimulation leadwire at coordinates of the coordinate system, which are offset from the coordinates of the model of the portion of the anatomy in accordance with the determined relative position of the stimulation leadwire;
wherein;
the stimulation leadwire includes a plurality of markers, wherein each marker is rotationally biased towards one point on or section of a perimeter of the stimulation leadwire, the perimeter extending about a center longitudinal axis of the stimulation leadwire;
the determining of the relative position includes determining a rotational orientation of the leadwire about the center longitudinal axis by identifying a rotational positioning of the markers relative to each other and within and relative to the at least one image; and
the determining of the relative position is performed based on a set of images of a portion of the leadwire including a respective image for each rotation of the leadwire by a certain number of degrees.

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.
