1. A computer-implemented method for outputting a stimulation history map corresponding to a plurality of stimulations that have been performed using a stimulation device implanted in an anatomical region, the method comprising:
- for each of a plurality of display elements, where each of the display elements is recorded as having been part of each one of a plurality of scored estimated volumes of tissue activated (VOAs) by the plurality of stimulations, determining, by a computer processor, a score for the display element based on scores of the plurality of VOAs of which the display element has been recorded as being a part, wherein each of the plurality of VOAs comprises multiple ones of the display elements; and
generating and outputting, by the processor, a map including the plurality of display elements graphically marked based on the respective scores determined for the display elements.

Abstract
A system and method for outputting historical stimulation information includes a processor configured to assign individual display regions, e.g., pixels or voxels, (or a larger region) a score based on those volumes of activations (VOA) in which the individual display region had been included and the scores assigned to those VOAs, and display in a display device a map of varying graphical indicia based on the different scores assigned to the elemental display regions.

21. A computer-implemented method for outputting a stimulation history map corresponding to a plurality of stimulations that have been performed using a stimulation device implanted in an anatomical region, the method comprising:
-
for each of a plurality of display elements, where each of the display elements is recorded as having been part of each one of a plurality of scored estimated volumes of tissue activated (VOA) by the plurality of stimulations; determining, by a computer processor, a score for the display element based on scores of the plurality of VOAs of which the display element has been recorded as being a part, wherein each of the plurality of VOAs comprises multiple ones of the display elements; and determining, by the processor, whether the score determined for the display element meets a threshold; and generating and outputting, by the processor, a map of the display elements, wherein the display elements whose respective scores have been determined to meet the threshold are graphically distinguished from those of the display elements whose respective scores have been determined not to meet the threshold and from those of the display elements for which a score has not been determined. - View Dependent Claims (22)
