First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- presenting, by a user interface, a graphical representation of an anatomical region of a patient;
presenting, by the user interface, a graphical representation of an electrical stimulation lead with respect to the graphical representation of the anatomical region;
presenting, by the user interface, a graphical representation of a stimulation field with respect to the graphical representation of the electrical stimulation lead; and
presenting, by the user interface and simultaneously with the graphical presentations of the anatomical region, the electrical stimulation lead, and the stimulation field, an adjustment mechanism configured to receive user input that adjusts a value of a parameter that at least partially defines electrical stimulation deliverable by the electrical stimulation lead to the patient.

Abstract
The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to configure electrical stimulation therapy by defining a three-dimensional (3D) stimulation field. After a stimulation lead is implanted in a patient, a clinician manipulates the 3D stimulation field in a 3D environment to encompass desired anatomical regions of the patient. In this manner, the clinician determines which anatomical regions to stimulate, and the system generates the necessary stimulation parameters. In some cases, a lead icon representing the implanted lead is displayed to show the clinician where the lead is relative to the 3D anatomical regions of the patient.
