  • Publication number: 20200337637
    Abstract: An example method includes obtaining an image of a lead implanted in a patient, the lead including one or more electrodes positioned along a longitudinal axis of the lead and a plurality of orientation markers; determining, in the image, respective locations of the electrodes and respective locations of the orientation markers; obtaining a template model corresponding to the lead; determining a transform between the determined locations of the one or more electrodes and the plurality of orientation markers and locations of corresponding electrodes and orientation markers in the template model; and determining the rotational orientation of the lead based on the transform.

  • Publication number: 20200337636
    Abstract: An example method includes obtaining an image of a lead implanted in a patient, the lead including one or more electrodes positioned along a longitudinal axis of the lead and a plurality of orientation markers; determining, in the image, respective locations of the one or more electrodes and respective locations of the plurality of orientation markers; determining, based on the respective locations of the one or more electrodes, an orientation of the longitudinal axis; projecting the respective locations of the orientation markers into a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; and determining, based on a projected location of a first orientation marker of the plurality of orientation markers in the plane and a projected location of a second orientation marker of the plurality of orientation markers in the plane, a rotational orientation of the lead.
