Abstract
A method for identifying a rotational orientation of a lead includes obtaining a radiological image of the lead having a lead body, a distal tip, electrodes, and an asymmetric marker, where the lead defines a lead axis along the portion of the lead extending from the distal tip and including the electrodes and the asymmetric marker; determining, using the set of lead slices and the set of marker slices, a direction vector extending from an estimated lead axis and passing through a determined center of weighted mass of the lead; and providing an indication of a direction of the direction vector on a display.
