User interface with 3D environment for configuring stimulation therapy

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a user input defining a first target area of a patient tissue to receive electrical stimulation therapy; modifying, by the processor and based on a characteristic of the patient tissue within the first target area, the first target area of the patient tissue to a second target area of the patient tissue; determining a position of an electrical stimulation lead relative to the second target area of the patient tissue; and determining, by the processor and based on the second target area and the position of the electrical stimulation lead, a set of electrical stimulation parameters that define electrical stimulation therapy deliverable to the second target area.
