Implantable medical devices storing graphics processing data
First Claim
1. An implantable medical device comprising:
- a memory configured to store data for a program of the implantable medical device;
a therapy unit configured to perform at least one of delivery of therapy and sensing of a physiological signal at a therapy target of an anatomical feature of a patient; and
an interface configured to receive the data for the program and to store the data for the program to the memory, wherein the interface is further configured to receive graphics processing data comprising data that, when applied during a rendering process, produces an image of the anatomical feature of the patient, and to store the graphics processing data to the memory,wherein the implantable medical device is not configured to perform the rendering process using the graphics processing data.

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.
